Turkey And Mushroom Bolognese Recipes

TURKEY-AND-MUSHROOM BOLOGNESE

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a pot over medium-high. When it shimmers, add onion, carrots, and mushrooms; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and golden in places, 8 to 10 minutes (if bottom of pot browns too quickly, reduce heat to medium).
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, turkey, and pancetta; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking turkey into bite-size pieces, until browned in places, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add wine and boil, scraping up any browned bits, until mostly evaporated. Add broth and tomato sauce; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring a few times, until thickened and reduced slightly, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in milk and continue simmering until again thickened and reduced slightly, 12 to 15 minutes more. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water according to package instructions.
• Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with a few spoonfuls of Bolognese and enough pasta water for sauce to evenly coat pasta. Serve pasta with more Bolognese, topped with cheese, parsley, and a drizzle of oil.

• Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend, stirring often. Stir in the basil. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. (The sauce can be made 1 week ahead. Cool the sauce completely, then transfer it to a container and freeze for future use. Bring the sauce to a simmer before using.)
• Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten as needed. Serve with the Parmesan.
