Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces spaghetti
2 slices bacon
1 tablespoon salted butter
½ cup diced onion
½ cup diced celery
½ cup diced sweet red bell pepper
8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed

Provided by Katie Workman

Categories     Main Course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ cup fresh bread crumbs
½ teaspoon Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (, melted)
½ cup shredded gruyere or Swiss cheese
12 ounces dried spaghetti (, snapped in half)
6 tablespoons (¾ stick) unsalted butter (, divided)
1 medium onion (, chopped)
8 ounces sliced mushrooms (, any kind)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper (to taste)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon dried sage
1 cup chicken broth (, preferably less-sodium)
1 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons dry sherry ((optional))
3 cups cubed cooked turkey
2 cups frozen peas (, thawed)
½ cup chopped fresh parsley (, plus more for sprinkling)
¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 13 x 9 baking dish (or another similar shallow 2 ½ quart baking dish) with nonstick spray. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large, deep saucepan melt the 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium high heat. Add the onions and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally for about 8 minutes until they are browned and any liquid they have released evaporates. Remove to a plate.
  • While the vegetables cook, make the topping: in a small bowl combine the bread crumbs, salt, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and Gruyere or Swiss cheese. Set aside.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of the butter. Sprinkle over the flour and cook, stirring 1 to 2 minutes until the flour is incorporated and turns golden. Stir in the sage, broth and milk and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently for about 4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Add the cooked mushrooms and onions, drained pasta, turkey, ½ cup parsley and Parmesan (if your pan is not big enough you can mix it al together in a large mixing bowl). Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with the bread crumb mixture.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Sprinkle with a bit more parsley and serve.
