Instructions
- 1Thinly slice the turkey breast and mince the garlic. Do not rinse the turkey. Pat the turkey dry, then season it with the kosher salt, black pepper, and rosemary.
- 2Bring a pot of water to a boil, salt the water well, and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente, starting to taste two minutes before the package time. Drain it, reserving a little cooking water.
- 3While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey in a single layer and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and the thickest pieces read 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer it to a clean plate, then wash the board, knife, and your hands with soap and water before touching anything else.
- 4Reduce the skillet to medium heat. Add the garlic and zucchini noodles with a small pinch of salt, tossing for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the zucchini is crisp-tender.
- 5Stir in the tomato sauce and a splash of reserved pasta water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce is hot and slightly reduced. Taste and adjust with kosher salt, black pepper, and a small splash of pasta water if needed.
- 6Toss in the spaghetti and turkey, then cook for 1-2 minutes until coated and steaming. Finish with the parmesan and serve.
