Turkey Bolognese, with Oomph

My daughter Nora is on a semester abroad in Florence, sending home pictures (via Twitter) of her wine tasting in Tuscany, eating local pastries, partaking of her Italian host mom’s home made jam and sampling pasta in local (fabulous) restaurants. This is giving me a bad case of Eater’s Envy. The last time I ate Italian food was in a restaurant in Sherman Oaks called La Dolce Vita or something whose menu featured “Spaghetti a la Bob Hope.”

Nora’s experience has inspired me to cook Italian (although you will not see me making home made jam). In an attempt at transcontinental bonding with Nora I’m making a sort of Bolognese sauce for spaghetti. To accommodate my dieting husband I’m making it with turkey (although I’m adding a fair amount of pancetta to oomph it up).

Okay, it ain’t Florence, but it’s not bad for a Saturday night supper, and it’s a heck of a lot better than La Dolce Vita!
