Smoked Turkey Pasta

Because of those amazing 50% off Christmas meat sales at Woolworths, we ended up with a lot of turkey in our fridge. I haven't eaten much turkey in my life so it was slightly challenging trying to find ways to eat it in a meal. This quick-to-make and absolutely delicious turkey pasta is a good reason to invest in a chunk of ready-to-eat turkey for any occasion.


Ingredients:
250g pasta (spaghetti)
50g Gruyere
200g baby tomatoes
1 tsp herbes de provence
1 tsp dried garlic
2 hot chillies
A glug of olive oil
Salt
Pepper


Method:
Cook the pasta through with a tsp of salt and drain. Add it back to the pot with the Gruyere (grated), mix in the olive oil and the turkey (cut into 2cm square chunks). 
Remove from heat once cheese is melted.
In another pot, throw in your washed tomatoes and chopped chillies. Set the stove plate on a high heat and poke a few of the tomatoes so that the juices can run out and become sticky. Sometimes this happens on its own when the tomatoes get very hot. 
Quickly add the herbes and the garlic and stir very few minutes until you are convinced that your tomatoes are soft and sweet inside.They should be soft to the touch and not firm.
Add the tomatoes to your spaghetti and serve.
