Total Time

Yield

4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 mL) cooked turkey
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup (250 mL) diced onion
  • 1 can (796 mL) diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups (750 mL) water
  • 250 g (600 mL) pasta
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups (500 mL) packed spinach
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) capers
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter (optional)
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) grated Asiago cheese

Instructions

  • Sauté onion in olive oil.
  • Add garlic. Sauté an additional 2 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, water, salt, pepper and pasta.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Lower heat to a simmer and cook until pasta is cooked through but still al dente.
  • Add water along the way if pasta begins to dry out. The liquid will gradually reduce and leave a creamy, thickened sauce. Make sure there is some liquid left in the pan as pasta will continue to absorb until it begins to cool.
  • In the last few minutes of cooking, add spinach, capers, sundried tomatoes and turkey.
  • Mix to incorporate.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add butter (for extra creaminess) and cheese.

Chef's Tips

  • Feel free to substitute any vegetables you have on hand for the spinach. Consider substituting with peas, Swiss chard, asparagus, mushrooms, or kale.
