Turkey Ragù Spaghetti with Zucchini & Parmesan

Italian · Serves 2

Turkey Ragù Spaghetti

with Zucchini & Parmesan

Let’s talk turkey: Tonight’s 20-minute meal gives you all the comfort of pasta with meat sauce but with leaner ground turkey. Spaghetti is always a hit for dinner and this one in a creamy tomato ragù is no exception. The sauce is simmered with grated zucchini, which cooks up quickly and turns silky—almost melting into the ragù, so it’s like having a hidden veggie in the mix. Don’t be surprised when everyone “gobbles” it up!

Instructions

4 steps
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. (TIP: Cover pot with lid to bring water to a boil more quickly.) Wash and dry produce.

    Trim zucchini; grate on the largest holes of a box grater.

  2. 2

    Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.

    Reserve ¾ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain.

  3. 3

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey*, Tuscan Heat Spice, garlic powder, ½ tsp salt (1 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until lightly browned, 2-4 minutes.

    Add zucchini; cook, stirring, until zucchini is tender and turkey is cooked through, 2-3 minutes more.

    Stir in marinara sauce, stock concentrate, and ¼ cup pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4). Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

    Reduce heat to medium low. Stir in cream cheese, sour cream, half the Parmesan, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Add pasta to pan with sauce; toss to coat. TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved pasta water a splash at a time until pasta is thoroughly coated in sauce.

    Divide between plates; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and serve.
