- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup pecan halves
- 1/4 pound Safeway SELECT Bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 12 ounces dried Safeway SELECT Verdi Farfalle Pasta
- 3/4 cup cranberry sauce or relish (purchased or homemade)
- 2 cups bite-size pieces skinned cooked turkey
- 1/4 cup minced parsley
- Salt and pepper
- In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with broth.
- While water heats, pour pecans into a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat. Shake or stir nuts frequently until lightly browned under the skin (break a nut to test), about 5 minutes. Pour from pan and set aside.
- Return frying pan to medium-high heat; add bacon and onion. Stir often until bacon is brown, about 10 minutes; spoon out fat and discard. Add pasta to boiling water and cook until tender to bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
- While pasta cooks, add cranberry sauce and broth mixture to bacon and onion; stir over high heat until boiling. Add turkey and parsley and mix. Keep sauce warm.
- Drain pasta. Return to pan, add turkey sauce, and mix. Spoon onto plates. Sprinkle pasta with toasted pecans and add salt and pepper to taste.
