Istruzioni

Saute onions and garlic. Heat a large dutch oven or pot over medium-low heat, add oil, and let it get hot. Add onions, salt, and pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly browned. Then add garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Brown turkey. Add turkey to the pan, break it up with the back of a spoon, and saute for 2-3 minutes. Next, add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and a little salt and pepper, mix to combine, and saute for another 3-5 minutes until turkey is browned.

Cook pasta. Add your zucchini, mushrooms, pasta, pasta sauce, and water to the pan. Mix well to combine and everything is evenly distributed. Push down the ingredients if needed to make sure they are covered by the liquid. Put the lid on the pan and turn up the heat to medium. Cook for 13-15 minutes, allowing it to come to a boil, until pasta is almost al dente. Make sure to stir 1-2 times while it cooks so nothing gets stuck to the bottom.

Stir in spinach. Add chopped spinach and mix well to combine. Let simmer for 1-2 more minutes until wilted and pasta is cooked to your liking.

Enjoy! Serve with toppings of choice and enjoy!
