Cooking Tips

If cooking double protein/veggies, use a larger pan and possibly cook in batches—watch visual and temp cues rather than time. For 3 servings, lighten the seasoning for balance. Reserve and use pasta water to achieve ideal sauce consistency. Ground turkey is fully cooked at 165°F.

Mise en Place

Prepare cooking tools and ingredients

Gather a large pot, box grater, strainer, and large pan. Get out kosher salt, black pepper, cooking oil, and butter from the pantry. Measure out the following ingredients: spaghetti, marinara sauce, Tuscan Heat Spice, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, zucchini, chicken stock concentrate, sour cream, cream cheese, tomato paste, and ground turkey.

Wash and Prep Produce

Wash and dry zucchini. Trim the ends of the zucchini, then grate it using the largest holes of a box grater.

Pre-measure Dairy and Sauces

Portion out half the Parmesan cheese for stirring into the sauce and reserve the rest for serving. Measure out sour cream and cream cheese as needed according to your serving size. Have the marinara sauce, tomato paste, and chicken stock concentrates ready to add.

Cooking Steps

Prep

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. (TIP: Cover pot with lid to bring water to a boil more quickly.) Wash and dry produce. Trim zucchini; grate on the largest holes of a box grater.

Boil Pasta

Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 9-11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water (1½ cups for 4 servings), then drain.

Cook Ragù

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, Tuscan Heat Spice, garlic powder, ½ tsp salt (1 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until lightly browned, 2-4 minutes. Add zucchini and tomato paste; cook, stirring, until zucchini is tender and turkey is cooked through, 2-3 minutes more. Stir in marinara sauce, chicken stock concentrates, and ½ cup pasta cooking water (¾ cup for 4 servings). Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low. Stir in cream cheese, sour cream, half the Parmesan, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish & Serve

Add drained spaghetti to pan with sauce; toss to coat. If needed, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is thoroughly coated in sauce. Taste and season with additional salt or pepper, as desired. Divide pasta between plates or shallow bowls. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and serve.
