Instructions
When cooking the pasta, starch is released into the water; that starchy pasta water helps to thicken this sauce, without adding extra ingredients.
Wash and dry all produce.* In a large pot, add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt. (NOTE: Use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While water boils, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons. Halve tomatoes. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
To the boiling water, add spaghetti. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. When done, reserve 3/4 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain.
While spaghetti cooks, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then turkey, garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook, breaking up turkey into smaller pieces, until browned, 4-5 min. (TIP: Cook to a min. internal temp. of 74°C/165°F.**) Add zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3-4 min.
To the turkey mixture, add pesto, tomatoes, reserved pasta water and 1 tbsp vinegar (dbl for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min.
To the sauce, add spaghetti, half the Parmesan and 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl). Remove from heat and stir together until spaghetti is coated.
Divide summer turkey bolognese between bowls. Sprinkle over remaining Parmesan and tear over basil leaves.
