Ingredients

2 cups cooked Canadian turkey
1 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1 cup diced onion
1 can diced tomatoes (796 ml)
3 cups water
250 gr pasta
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups packed spinach
¼ cup capers
¼ cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
1 tbsp butter (optional)
¼ cup grated Asiago cheese

Tip: Feel free to substitute any vegetables you have on hand for the spinach. Consider substituting with peas, Swiss chard, asparagus, mushrooms, or kale.

Directions

Sauté onion in olive oil.
Add garlic. Sauté an additional 2 minutes.
Add tomatoes, water, salt, pepper and pasta.
Bring to a boil.
Lower heat to a simmer and cook until pasta is cooked through but still al dente.
Add water along the way if pasta begins to dry out. The liquid will gradually reduce and leave a creamy, thickened sauce. Make sure there is some liquid left in the pan as pasta will continue to absorb until it begins to cool.
In the last few minutes of cooking, add spinach, capers, sundried tomatoes and turkey.
Mix to incorporate.
Remove from heat.
Add butter (for extra creaminess) and cheese.
