Ground Turkey Pasta Bake

There are those nights when you look in the pantry and realize you have ‘nothing to make for dinner’. Those are the nights I usually whip out the pasta. Pasta is the best, too, because it can be on a meal on its own, or the glue that holds a dish together.

This is one of those dishes that pulls everything together. It’s mostly pantry/freezer ingredients and it’s all made in one pot. It’s super tasty, super delicious and super easy to make!

This is definitely a rotating weeknight dish for us in this house! How about you? What’s your favorite go-to dish? Let me know in the comments below!
