Ingredients
- 140 g Spaghetti
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 175 g leek sliced
- 75 g mushrooms sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 150 g leftover turkey shredded
- 100 ml Creme Fraiche
- 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
- 40 g parmesan grated
- 50 ml pasta water
- 2 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper
- 60 g spinach
Instructions
- Cook 140 g Spaghetti according to the packet instructions, usually 10-12 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon Olive oil in a large pan and cook 175 g Leek, 75 g Mushrooms and 2 Garlic cloves until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 150 g Leftover turkey and 40 g Parmesan.
- Add 60 g Spinach, 50 ml Pasta water, 100 ml Creme fraiche, 1 tablespoon Wholegrain mustard and 2 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper. Continue heating, stirring regularly, until the spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Once cooked, serve the topping on top of the drained pasta.
Notes
- To make this even quicker, use some fresh tagliatelle which is ready in a few minutes.
- Don't forget to reserve some of the pasta water. You really don't want to skip this step, as it makes the sauce so silky.
- If you like your food spicy, then add a sprinkle of red chilli flakes on top before serving.
- Add a splash of olive oil to the pan before serving for an extra boost of flavour.
- Serve with extra Parmesan and cracked black pepper if you like.
- Why not make a leftover turkey pasta bake. Follow the recipe and then put everything in a baking dish, top with cheese and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
