Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked.
- Lower the heat and stir in tomato sauce, half-and-half, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese into the skillet. Mix until the cheeses start to melt and the sauce becomes creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the drained penne pasta to the skillet, gently folding it into the creamy sauce. Toss for about 2-3 minutes until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle in red chili flakes and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Stir for an additional minute.
- Plate the creamy pasta, garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of red chili flakes. Serve immediately.
