Preparation
Step 1
Place the turkey, garlic, cumin and cinnamon in a bowl and using your hands, mix well until combined. Season well. Cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour to let the flavors develop.
Meanwhile, make the sauce by placing a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot and celery. Stir and cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 25-30 minutes. Season well.
For the meatballs: Make small round balls from the mince mixture. Add the meatballs to the sauce. Stir to coat evenly and simmer gently for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.
While the meatballs are cooking, cook the pasta, drain well, stir in the herbs and season well.
Divide the tagliatelle between 4 plates and top with the meatballs. Serve immediately.
