Pesto Turkey Pasta Skillet

• 250g turkey mince
• 180g pasta
• 2 tbsp pesto
• 2 handfuls spinach
• 2 tbsp light cream cheese
• 1 garlic clove
• Salt and pepper

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta 1–2 min less than the packet says (it'll finish in the sauce). Reserve 100ml pasta water before draining.

2. 2

   Mince the garlic. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the turkey mince and cook, breaking it up, 4–5 min until browned. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Push the mince aside, add the garlic, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add the spinach by the handful and stir until fully wilted — about 2 min.

5. 5

   Reduce heat to low. Add the pesto and cream cheese, stirring until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce.

6. 6

   Add the drained pasta and toss well to coat. Cook 1–2 min until the pasta is just al dente and the sauce clings. Serve immediately.
