M&S RECIPE INSPIRATION
Shredded turkey ragu with fresh tagliatelle
Hearty and nourishing, this Italian-inspired pasta dish will warm your cockles – just the ticket in that lazy week between Christmas and the new year, and a clever way to use up leftover turkey
Ingredients
- 400g M&S soffritto mix
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 sprigs rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp M&S smoked tomato paste
- 250ml red wine
- 1 tin (400g) chopped tomatoes
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1 bay leaf (optional)
- 350ml chicken stock
- 400-500g leftover cooked turkey thigh meat, roughly shredded
- 400g fresh tagliatelle
- 50g parmesan, grated
Method
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the soffritto mix, garlic and rosemary with a pinch of salt and pepper and sweat for 10 minutes, until soft.
- Add the smoked tomato paste, stir and cook for 30 seconds. Add the red wine and simmer until reduced in volume by half. Add the chopped tomatoes, cinnamon, bay leaf (if using) and stock. Bring to the boil, then stir in the turkey.
- Reduce the heat, cover loosely and simmer for about 1 hour, until you have a thick, rich sauce.
- With 5 minutes to go, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions, then toss into the cooked ragu to coat. Serve topped with grated parmesan.
