Ingredients
| 90g | Red lentil pasta |
| 200g | Ground turkey (< 3% fat) |
| 400g | Crushed tomatoes |
| 1 | Onion |
| 2 cloves | Garlic |
| 1 | Carrot |

Preparation
- Finely chop the onion, garlic, and carrot. Sauté in oil over medium heat for 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Add the ground turkey and increase the heat. Let it brown without stirring too much to form a crust. Break it up with a spatula when browned.

Stir in the tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Reduce to low heat for 15 minutes. Cook the lentil pasta according to package directions (6-8 min). Mix and serve with fresh basil.
🍽️ Presentation: Serve in a deep dark plate or black ceramic bowl. The dark red pasta contrasts with the bright green of fresh basil. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and grated Parmesan (optional) for a fit Italian restaurant finish.
