Preparation
Step 1
Heat the oil over medium heat in a deep skillet or earthenware pot. Add the onions and garlic and cook until they are slightly translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the turkey or beef, stirring to break it up, and cook for about 5 minutes, until the meat is no longer red.
> In a medium bowl, combine the Green Puree and tomato paste until mixture turns brownish in color.
> Add to skillet, and stir in the oat bran, basil, and oregano. Add broken noodles on top of meat mixture, then top with tomato sauce.
> Fill empty tomato sauce jar three-quarters full of water (about 2 1/2 cups) and add to skillet. Stir to combine. Bring to boil and then reduce to simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
> Add cheese on top, do not stir again; cover for 3 to 5 minutes until cheese is melted. Serve hot.
