Ingredients

1 lb Ground turkey

8 ⅘ oz Chickpea pasta (I prefer Barilla's chickpea pasta over other brands)

1 ½ Cups Alfredo sauce (jarred or homemade)

5 cups Fresh broccoli (chopped (or a 10 oz bag of fresh pre-chopped broccoli)

1 small White onion (chopped)

2 large Garlic cloves (minced)

1 tbsp Olive oil

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Parmesan cheese (to taste)

Directions

Cook the pasta according to the box instructions.

While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook 2-3 minutes, until onions are beginning to become translucent.

Add ground turkey to the pan with garlic and onions and cook for 12-15 minutes until completely brown and cooked through (no pink should be visible). Season with salt and pepper.

Reduce heat to low-medium and add broccoli to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes uncovered and then an additional 2 minutes covered.

Add cooked pasta and alfredo sauce to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Combine thoroughly and serve hot.
