DIRECTIONS

1:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cook the pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente, according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.

2:
While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in an oven-safe skillet. Add the onion and the mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic, the Italian seasoning, the red chili flakes, the salt, and the pepper and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3:
Add the ground turkey and cook until it is no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and the fresh parsley and cook until the flavors have melded together, about 7-8 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

|
|
|
4:
Stir in the reserved pasta water. Add the pasta and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese to the sauce mixture, combining well. If desired, transfer a 9 X 13 casserole dish. Place onto sheet pan and place on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the casserole and bake until the cheese melts. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.
