Pasta! Come get your whole wheat pasta!! I wish I could just hand out this pasta at my doorstep for whomever is in the mood because I swear your day would get better after a bowl of this outstanding pasta! It has a bit of a history and who would I even be not to share that with you? I don’t want to disappoint anyone so I am going to give you the low down on the inspiration for this pasta.
The person that first introduced this delectable dish to me was my husband. However, he doesn’t call it spicy whole wheat pasta with ground turkey. Nah, he in fact calls it BD pasta as in balls deep pasta. LOL!!! And that is no joke my friends. He and his buddy developed this concoction during anesthesia school a few years back and it has continued to make its appearance in our house ever since. We both love it!
This pasta is totally satisfying and I love the choice of ground turkey in it along with the mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes.
Our kids even love this too as long as I don’t put too much Sriracha sauce in it. The recipe calls for a tablespoon of Sriracha but if you would like to serve this to kids as well, I would suggest cutting that back to 1/2 tablespoon and then add Sriracha sauce on top once served.
