Spaghetti w/ Spicy Turkey -- Holiday Guests #3

Welcome to the third guest post in my Holiday Guests series! I first "met" Tina through Friday Potluck and early on we discussed guest posts. I'm really excited to present Tina from MOMS CRAZY COOKING as my guest poster this December 29th!  

Tina once owned a meal-prep business where people came in and made food and took home to freeze. More recently she had been cooking every day for a year and and was sharing recipes to friends and family via Facebook. When the year was finished this past September, she wanted to continue as she looks forward to being in her kitchen each day, so started her blog. She loves cooking, and that she can send friends and family to her blog to grab the recipe, as well as meeting and talking with all the food lovers out there.
Hello to everyone at EKat’s Kitchen. I am so happy to be guest posting today for Erin. I am just starting to grow my blog and Erin and I have been emailing back and forth for a few months now. It’s so wonderful this “Blogging World”, I am enjoying it immensely. My name is Tina and my blog is MOMS CRAZY COOKING. I love to cook and bake and my all time passion is digital scrapbooking. I try and share a new recipe every single day on my blog and my family loves trying all my new recipes. I rarely make something more than once, because there are so many new recipes to try. I live in Southern California with my husband and 4 kids (19 yr old, twins 17 yrs old and my baby he is 11 yrs old). Like most moms, I live a busy and crazy life.

My love for cooking has always been there, but more a less on the back burner. A year ago I began a journey of “Cooking Everyday for a Year and Sharing my Recipes” (on facebook); when I completed the year I was so sad and wanted to continue. I didn’t know much about blogs, but began reading and following and just fell in love, thus began my MOMS CRAZY COOKING BLOG. I bake and cook and my family LOVES to taste. Then we all vote and decide if they are “keepers” or not.

Today I have a delicious Rachel Ray recipe for you. I tear out pages and pages of recipes from magazines and I try and make every single one, some are to-die for delicious and some are just so-so. This was one of those knock you of your seat every so yummy spaghetti recipes and I am so glad I finally got around to making it. I know that if you find the time to make this recipe you will not be disappointed. ENJOY!
Spaghetti with Spicy Turkey Sauce

from Rachel Ray Magazine
1 pound whole wheat spaghetti
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 pound ground turkey
Salt and black pepper
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking water.

Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat; add the onion and cook until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Increase the heat to medium-high, crumble in the turkey, season with salt and black pepper and cook until the turkey is just no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley and cheese.

Toss the pasta with the sauce and 1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking water, adding more water to thin the consistency, if desired. Serve immediately with more cheese.
