Notes
- You can make a vegetarian version of this by using leftovers of your favourite meat free roast.
- For some added freshness, add some slices of cherry tomatoes on top when adding the cheese.
- If you want to make this leftover turkey pasta bake really crispy, then you can put it under the grill/broiler for a couple of minutes before serving. You could also mix some breadcrumbs in with the cheese for extra crispiness.
- Reserve a little pasta water to add to the sauce to make it really silky and smooth.
- For some added spice, you can add some red chilli flakes.
