Ingredients
3/4 lb penne
3/4 cup EVOO

Salt and pepper
1 onion, chopped
 2 cloves garlic, thinly slided
1/2 ts. crushed red pepper
1 lb ground turkey, preferably dark meat
Directions:
1.  In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the penne until al dente, 11 to 13 minutes.  Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
2.  Meanwhile, in a large skillet, add 2 tbsp.  EVOO over medium-high heat.  Add the broccolini and season with salt and pepper.  Stir in 2 tbsp.  water, cover and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.  Transfer to a bowl.
