The word “enchilada” means seasoned with chile (which this is) while the farro slow cooks absorbing the flavors just like corn tortillas, so this dish does taste like cheesy enchiladas. You could also say it tastes like Mexican Sloppy Joes. Either way, this is an easy delicious recipe, cooked 2 different ways depending on how much time you have!
This sauce is a delicious blend of sweet, savory, salty, and spicy. We don’t eat pasta very often so this is a special treat dinner for us, high in protein (helped by the organic edamame pasta), but feel free to…
We make a batch of these meatballs regularly and freeze them for easy weekday dinners served over zucchini noodles with a low sugar tomato sauce (we use Rao’s Marinara Sauce). We love the fresh taste that vegetables and herbs add to the meatballs, so feel free to substitute in your favorites to suit your tastes.
It may look like a long list of veggies, but you can use similar vegetables that you have in the refrigerator. We call this the “end of the week clean out the fridge stir fry”. You could also serve this over rice, but the roasted yam version is sooooo good!
Bolognese is my favorite Italian sauce so it comes as no surprise that I had to try this recipe and modify it to make it a bit healthier. It is equally delicious substituting chopped portabella mushrooms for the turkey. And YES, we serve it over roasted cauliflower in lieu of pasta and it is SO good! You won’t miss the pasta at all.
Simply mix and bake. It does not get much simpler than that! Although the recipes makes 8 delicious servings, it can easily be cut in half and baked in an 8” x 8” baking dish.
