Penne pasta Jerry's cabin

We all have left over after the big day, and some people don't like to cook  too much. I have some pieces of the turkey breast that I bake the day before, and pretty much you need basic ingredients that most people have in  their pantry:

  • 1 small chopped onion
  • 1 green bell pepper slice in julienne
  • 2 sticks of celery.
  • 1 can of tomatoes sauce.
  • 1 can of  diced tomatoes.
  • 1 can of corn.
  • 2 cups of chopped turkey left over.
  • 2 teaspoon of cayenne powder.
  • 1 can of mushrooms if you don't have fresh ones, if you do 2 cups. 
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
  • Salt as much as you want or no salt.
  • 3 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • 1 box of penne pasta.
  • 1 cup of Parmesan cheese (anyone you have) 
Very easy:

Make your penne as always you cooked your pasta, if you want started there first, the older the pasta seat the better it mixed with the sauce that you are about to make.

In a large skillet, pour the olive oil and  sauteed the onions, pepper, celery and mushrooms, until everything blend together, adding the salt, black pepper and cayenne powder, when everything is mixed and have a color, add the leftover turkey and mixed until everything blend together.

 Add the diced tomatoes, mixed until everything is blend, in a low heat, add the tomato sauce and mixed and let in cook for about 15 minutes.

Remember your pasta have to be cooked and resting ready for the mixing part.

After all the sauce is  mixed and reduced a little big, proceed to add the corn mixed and them add the pasta little by little, don't overflow the skillet, the idea is to have pasta in off but be able to get a little big of the sauce.

Serve with the cheese and bread.

Buen Provecho,
