Chicken Enchilada Pasta

Here is another tasty recipe I stole from Jessica. Sorry, there is no picture for this one.

What you'll need:

*1 lb. ground turkey or beef
*2 Tbsp. olive oil (really any type of cooking oil can be used)
*1 onion, chopped
*1 Tbsp garlic, minced
*1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
*1/4 cup green salsa
*1 tsp. salt
*1 tsp. cumin
*2 tsp. chili powder
*28 oz. green enchilada sauce
*10 oz. red enchilada sauce
*1 cup sour cream
*1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Mexican blend...whatever you like)
*Penne pasta

Here's what you do:

*Cook pasta according to package directions.
*Meanwhile, in a large dutch oven or heavy pot; saute the onion, pepper, and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, 1/4 cup green salsa, salt, cumin, chili powder, and both enchilada sauces. Mix well. Bring to a boil; lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the sour cream and cheese; mix well. Heat until cheese melts. DO NOT BOIL! If you boil the sauce, it will separate. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it well. Add the pasta to the sauce and mix well. Serve with a green salad to complete the meal.
