Before you start

  • 2x large saucepans

Set the pasta boiling

  • Cook the pasta in boiling water for 8-9 mins, then drain.

Sizzle the spices

  • Meanwhile, peel and finely dice the onions. Deseed the peppers and dice into 1cm squares.
  • Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat. Fry the onions and peppers with the cumin and fennel seeds for 5 mins.

Stir in the turkey

  • Finely dice the chilli (deseed for less heat).
  • Add the chilli (to taste), mince and ginger & garlic paste to the pan and cook for 3 mins, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon.
  • Stir in the curry powder and cook for 2 mins.

Simmer the sauce

  • Boil a half-full kettle. Add the stock to the pan, then pour in 250ml boiled water (300ml for 4 portions) and the passata. Stir well and simmer for 8-10 mins, until the turkey is cooked through and the sauce is reduced by half.
  • Finely chop the coriander.

Bring everything together

  • Stir the pasta, half the coriander and the peas into the frying pan and cook for 1 min.
  • Lightly season to taste with salt, then scatter over the remaining chopped coriander and serve.
