My husband's favorite style of food is Italian. I always keep on hand, whole grain pasta, diced tomato's, tomato paste and fill my freezer with Italian Seasoned Ground Turkey. So I know on a day that I do not have anything planned for dinner, I can pull out the Turkey and use that as a base for any
Italian type of recipe that I am in the mood for.
Tonight, I was going to make a Turkey Spaghetti pie, but didn't have a few ingredients, so that dish will have to wait until next week. Instead I made Baked Spaghetti. Mind you, I am out of garlic, onion and eggs. I normally start off from fresh onion and garlic... had to improvise, and it turned out just as swell, so this is my no fuss, no dice, chop meal. FAST and easy.
This Dish Serves 8 and is 9 WW Points Plus per serving.
