Romesco Turkey & Ditali Pasta
with Carrots & Spinach
20 MIN
+$1.45/serving
4 Servings
From the Test Kitchen
To give this comforting dish its bold, Spanish-style flavor, we’re coating turkey and vegetables with a blend of traditional spices (like paprika, coriander, and more), then simmering it all in a rustic tomato and romesco sauce. We’re serving it over a bed of ditali pasta—brightened with lemon purée—whose tube-like shape is perfect for catching all of the saucy bites.

step-by-step
instructions
1
Prepare the carrots
Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots and thinly slice on an angle.
2
Cook the pasta
Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, 9 to 11 minutes, or until al dente (still slightly firm to the bite). Turn off the heat. Reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, drain thoroughly and return to the pot.
3
Cook the beef & vegetables
Meanwhile, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the beef, sliced carrots, and spice blend; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and the vegetables are softened. Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil.
4
Make the sauce
To the pan, add the crushed tomatoes (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), romesco sauce, and demi-glace; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly thickened and the beef is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
5
Finish the pasta & serve your dish
To the pot of cooked pasta, add the cooked sauce, spinach, butter, lemon purée, and half the reserved pasta cooking water. Cook on medium-high, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the pasta is coated and the butter has melted (if necessary, gradually add the remaining cooking water to ensure the pasta is thoroughly coated). Turn off the heat. Serve the finished pasta garnished with the cheese. Enjoy!
