Penne with Turkey Ragu

The Hubs and I were on a hunt for a new dinner recipe   I feel that we've been stuck in the same rotation of meals for the past few weeks.  We stumbled upon this recipe and decided to give it a try.  The picture looked delicious and best of all, its healthy!  The original recipe called for pappardelle pasta.  However, I couldn't find it in my grocery store.  I opted for a whole wheat penne pasta instead.  It came out great!  There's plenty for leftovers too!  Enjoy!
