Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 3-quart casserole dish with nonstick spray.
2. In a large pan, heat the oil over medium-heat and add onion, garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute until onions have softened, about 4 minutes. Crumble in the ground turkey and cook until the turkey is browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the pasta, marinara sauce, parsley and 1 cup of the cheese. Spoon the pasta mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top and the Parmesan cheese too.
3. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
