I wanted a quick fix meal and opted for canned cannellini beans. Sometimes you just don't want to presoak beans or simmer them for an hour. And instead of using the traditional pancetta or ham, I replaced it with healthier ground turkey. It's a super simple recipe that can be made in thirty minutes or less.
This recipe, submitted by Elise Lalor from Issaquah, WA, was the 2009 Judges' Choice and $10,000 winner(representing the Pacific region) in the 2009 Chicken Cooking contest put on by the National Chicken Council.
Don't let anyone know you used only 4 ingredients in this lusciously creamy pasta dish. Or that you got it on the table in less than 25 minutes. We won't tell anyone either.
This Turkey and Artichoke Stuffed Shells with Arrabbiata Sauce recipe contains jumbo pasta shells, marinara sauce, pancetta, ricotta cheese, ground turkey and more.
I make this dish often because everyone likes it, even my pickiest eater. I tell my kids that Cowboy Chow is what cowboys eat while out on the range (wink).
