For the herbed tagliatelle:
500 g / 1 lb 2 oz lean minced turkey
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
2 sticks celery, finely chopped
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
340 g/12oz dried tagliatelle
6-8 tbsp finely chopped mixed herbs (eg parsley and tarragon)

Steps:

  • Place the turkey, garlic, cumin and cinnamon in a bowl and using your hands, mix well until combined. Season well. Cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour to let the flavors develop. Meanwhile, make the sauce by placing a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot and celery. Stir and cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 25-30 minutes. Season well. For the meatballs: Make small round balls from the mince mixture. Add the meatballs to the sauce. Stir to coat evenly and simmer gently for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through. While the meatballs are cooking, cook the pasta, drain well, stir in the herbs and season well. Divide the tagliatelle between 4 plates and top with the meatballs. Serve immediately.
