A quick one pot weeknight meal. This could be made without the meat and used as a beautiful side dish or vegetarian dish. It cooks up similar to a risotto.

Steps

1

Sauté the finely minced garlic in olive oil for a minute, stirring
2

Add the ground turkey, cook and break apart with a spatula.
3

Add the wine and cook a couple minutes to evaporate the alcohol
4

Add the spices, chicken broth and pasta. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
5

Cover the pot and let cook 10-15 minutes, or until pasta is cooked to your liking...stirring occasionally. Taste to see that your pasta is cooked and the liquid isn’t completely evaporated. Add more chicken broth or a little milk so you have a creamy sauce. (Like a risotto)
6

Add the spinach and cook a minute until the spinach wilts down. Take the pot off the heat and stir in the butter, Parmesan and lemon juice.

Serve and enjoy! Bon appetite
