Dani's Special Bowtie Pasta



PREP: 30 minutes
SERVES: 8

INGREDIENTS:
2 lb. lean ground turkey, beef, or Italian sausage (or a combo of any of these)
1-2 small zucchini squash, quartered and sliced
1-2 small yellow squash, quartered and sliced
1 jar original spaghetti sauce
1 jar vodka sauce (or 4-cheese alfredo sauce)
1 16-oz. pkg. bowtie pasta
*Consider adding some minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt for more flavor.

DIRECTIONS:
Prepare pasta according to directions on the package. Meanwhile brown turkey in a large skillet. When meat is browned, add squash and sauces. Simmer for 10 minutes or until squash is crisp-tender. Serve sauce over pasta.

Note: You could add other veggies, as desired, like diced carrots.


Here's Danielle's original recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
2-3 lbs ground lean ground beef (sometimes turkey)
1-2 jars regular spaghetti sauce
1 jar of 4 cheese alfredo sauce
1 zucchini
1 squash
2 bags of bowtie pasta
(Also…I put a smidge of water in each of the jars, shake them up and then add to the sauce to thin it out just a bit. This serves 12 if 3 lbs. meat is used.)
