Pasta with turkey in creamy sauce is an Italian dish that is cooked all over the world, and each recipe is unique. When choosing pasta, focus on the composition: the products should be made from durum wheat. The best choice would be spaghetti or fettuccine. Do not break long pasta before cooking. It is enough to lower them into the pan and slowly press on the ends sticking out of the water. As the pasta softens, it will go under the water.

Step 1

Cook the spaghetti. The pasta takes about 7-12 minutes to cook, but it is better to check the time indicated on the package. Pour 2 liters of water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. After boiling, add the spaghetti whole so that they fan out. Add about 9 g of salt and, without covering, cook over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a spoonful of vegetable oil. After cooking, throw the spaghetti in a colander. No need to rinse with water.

Step 2

Fry the meat. Heat the frying pan and melt the butter over low heat, add the vegetable oil. Place the turkey fillet in the frying pan and fry it over high heat for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Continue cooking the meat with the addition of spices and lemon. Add grated zest, a few pinches of salt, garlic and lemon juice to the turkey. Stir and continue cooking, reducing the heat to low. After 5-7 minutes, pour in the heavy cream and simmer the meat until the creamy sauce thickens, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Add the cooked spaghetti. Mix the spaghetti with the meat and cream sauce, then heat for another 3-4 minutes to allow the sauce to soak into the pasta.
