2cups(120g)dried pasta(preferably fusilli/rotini, penne or similar shape)
1 ½cups(368g)jarred marinara sauce(like Rao's arrabbiata if you like spicy or any good quality marinara sauce, see notes below on buying good quality sauce)
1cup(237ml)whole milk
½cup(118ml)water
Kosher saltto taste
Fresh basilfor garnish
Optional protein add-in:
1pound(454g)ground turkey or ground chicken
Instructions
Add all ingredients into a pot, stir, and let cook 12-15 minutes or until pasta is soft and sauce has thickened. Add more liquids if needed (if you're using thicker pasta shapes, you may need more liquid)
Notes
This pasta dish will be as good as the marinara sauce you use so don't cheapen out on the pasta sauce. I highly recommend using a brand like Rao's or Muir Glen. My favorite through and through is Rao's and will always spend the extra money for it!
