1/2 lb dry rigatoni pasta
1/2 lb lean ground turkey
1 small onion, diced
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash onion powder
parmesan cheese, to serve

Steps:

In a saute pan, brown turkey meat until cooked through and set aside.
In a sauce pot, saute garlic and onion until translucent, about 5-8 minutes.
Add fresh diced tomatoes and continue to saute for a couple minutes.
Add tomato sauce, salt and pepper and the rest of the spices and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in meat and continue to simmer lightly for another 5-10 minutes.
Boil pasta while sauce simmers.
Top with fresh grated Parmesan cheese to serve.
**If the sauce starts to thicken too much for your taste, just put the lid on the pot while it simmers until the pasta is done.
