Creamy Firecracker Turkey Pasta
FIRECRACKER FLAVOR and ONLY 6 points for the entire bowl! These turned out incredible. I love firecracker turkey and then adding a creamy pasta with it sounded delicious so why not?! Trust me friends, this is a game changer.
Use any pasta you wish. I used Carba-Nada Rigatone from my friends at Al Dente. I cooked mine longer than necessary so the pasta could break apart a bit. I prefer it like that with this dish but you do you!
