Ingredients

  • 6.5 oz (180 g) fusilli
  • 10.5 oz (300 g) ground turkey
  • 7 oz (200 g) spinach
  • about 3/4 cup (200 g) crushed tomatoes
  • about 3 oz (80 g) onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp (11 ml) olive oil

How to make it, step by step

  1. Bring plenty of salted water to a boil and cook the fusilli according to the package (about 10-11 minutes) until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook them for 3-4 minutes until they start to brown.
  3. Turn up the heat, add the ground turkey, and brown it, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5-6 minutes until no longer pink and lightly browned.
  4. Add the crushed tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring. Add the spinach and let it wilt for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the drained fusilli to the skillet, toss everything together for 2 minutes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot on two plates.
