Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound penne pasta

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the penne pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm olive oil and add ground turkey. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. Combine cooked penne with the sauce in the skillet; adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with torn basil leaves.
