A super easy, yummy, kid-friendly pasta casserole. My little sister and I were making lunch when we made up this casserole. She doesn't like hamburger, but she is a huge pasta and turkey fan. It goes together really quickly if one person makes the turkey part and another person makes the noodle part. Refrigerate leftovers.
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups farfalle , bow-tie
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.75 cups ketchup , or to taste
- 0.25 cups brown sugar

Pasta Salad a la Honeybear
This is my take on several different pasta salads I have tried. It's my daughter's favorite and I have taken it to several picnics and BBQs and it's always a bit hit. At serving time if pasta seems a little dry, drizzle with some olive oil and mix again.
