bowtie lasagna

For those of you who are savvier in the kitchen than I, I'm sure you could dink around for a few minutes and come up with this tasty number. For those of you who are more like me, you need a recipe for inspiration and dink-around capabilities. 

Adapted from Tasty Kitchen.

1 lb. ground turkey
~5 C bowtie pasta
3 C (24 oz bottle) your favorite spaghetti sauce
~1 TB olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp Italian seasoning (or basil, oregano, etc.)
3/4 C shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 C sour cream
fresh parmesan (opt.)

Cook pasta to al dente.

Meanwhile, brown meat in a large skillet.

Drain & rinse pasta. Add to skillet with meet. Drizzle olive oil on top of noodles & lightly toss, but don't stir with meat yet. Add spaghetti sauce and all seasonings. Stir to combine with noodles & meat.

Stir in cheese & sour cream. Allow everything to melt together and warm, about 5 minutes.

**Notes**
Red pepper flakes are totally a matter of preference. I think it gives it a nice little something every now & again, but little ones might not appreciate it. I added more mozzarella and less sour cream than the original recipe, as well. I shredded fresh parmesan on top which was delightful. This reheats really well, too.
