LOW SODIUM PASTA MEALS RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat a large non-stick frying pan and dry-fry the turkey mince until browned. Tip onto a plate and set aside.
• Add the oil and gently cook the onion, carrot and celery until softened, about 10 mins (add a splash of water if it starts to stick). Add the mushrooms and cook for a few mins, then add the sugar and tomato purée, and cook for 1 min more, stirring to stop it from sticking.
• Add the tomatoes, turkey and stock with some seasoning. Simmer for at least 20 mins (or longer) until thickened. Serve with the pasta and fresh basil, if you have it.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large pot of boiling, unsalted water cook the pasta to al dente (about 8 minutes). Remove from heat and drain. 
• While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. You need to make a roux. Whisk in the flour, turmeric, and mustard and keep whisking for about five minutes. Make sure it's free of lumps.
• Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.
• Whisk your egg in a cup and slowly add in the egg to avoid scrambling it. 
• Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with pepper. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
• Melt the butter in a saute pan and toss the breadcrumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. 
• Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.
