Ground Turkey Ragu with Tagliatelle

In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil, four turns of the pan, over medium-high. Add the turkey and cook, breaking into pieces with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and herbs; season with salt and pepper. Partially cover and cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the wine is reduced to about 1/4 cup, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and reduce the heat to medium-low. Partially cover and cook until the sauce thickens, 15-20 minutes. Remove the bay leaf.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Salt the water, add the pasta and cook to al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add the butter, half the sauce and the cooking water; toss. Serve topped with more sauce and cheese.
