Preparación

1. 1

   cook pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for 1 minute less than the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   saute onion: While the pasta cooks, make the sauce. Heat the oil in a large frying pan with high sides (see notes) over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it turns golden, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

3. 3

   cook turkey: Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up as you go, until it is no longer pink. Stir in the flour, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

4. 4

   add ingredients: Add the tomatoes, chicken stock, and cream cheese and simmer the sauce until the cream cheese melts. Stir in the parmesan, whipping cream, and spinach and let the spinach wilt.

5. 5

   finish and serve: Add the pasta to the sauce and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top and cover the pan. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese melts. Serve right away.
