Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Bolognese Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Add Meats

    Add the ground turtle meat and Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon, about 7-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Tomatoes

    Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Bolognese sauce over the cooked angel hair pasta. Garnish with fresh basil or grated cheese, if desired.
