Episodes » Episode 2: Ground Turkey Penne Bake
Welcome back everybody! Thanks for returning for Episode Two: Ground Turkey Penne Bake. This recipe originates with my Grandma Bernice, and she is not Italian. She's a Jew, and she's from Cuero, TX, a place I'm basically sure you've never heard of. That said, she is a fabulous cook, as are many Jewish grandmothers from small towns.
Grandma Bernice's basic baked pasta recipe consisted of shells, marinara sauce and the delicious kicker: a Parmesan cheese crust. It is fabulous in its simplicity. When I started dabbling in cookery, it was one of the first recipes I attempted because it's so easy and yummy. As I've gotten more adventurous, I've tried adding a ton of different things to this dish in hopes of finding a great combination: mushrooms, ground beef, ricotta cheese, etc. etc. etc. Some of the stuff worked and some of it reallllllllllllly didn't. But that's OK, I'm not ashamed! It takes a lot of tries before you land on a winner. And I definitely have found a winner in this pasta combo!
The final dish you'll see on the video involves wheat pasta, mushrooms, onions and, of course, the pièce de résistance, the Parmesan crust. Oh man, I'm tasting that crust in my mouth right now, and it tastes GOOD. That sentence was gross, but trust me, this pasta dish isn't.

WELCOME TO YOUR NEW FAVORITE (web) TV SHOW!! Economy
Bites, the show that teaches you to make yummy,
economical dishes that'll last you from Sunday to
Thursday!
Here is our first episode: Roasted Chicken. Believe
me, we struggled back and forth about which episode we
would air first. We landed on chicken for a few
reasons:
1: (most) everybody likes chicken.
2: It's ridiculously easy to make.
3: My hair looks fabulous in this episode...
