Creamy pesto turkey, asparagus and spinach pasta



Creamy pesto turkey, asparagus and spinach pasta
Serves 1

More asparagus and spinach to use up! This is such a quick and comforting dinner – using just a little cream cheese and adding the pasta water makes a fab low fat sauce. Love it! Sprinkle with parmesan if you have any.

50g rigatoni
Salt
5 asparagus stalks, cut into 2in lengths
Handful spinach
1 tsp oil
1 turkey breast steak, sliced into thin strips
2 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 tsp pesto
1 tsp cream cheese
Black pepper

Boil the pasta according to instructions in salted water. Add the asparagus for last 4 mins and the spinach just before draining.

Meanwhile heat the oil and fry the turkey breast strips until just cooked – about 2-3 mins. Throw in the cherry tomatoes and add the pesto and cream cheese. Loosen with a few tsp of pasta cooking water until you have sauce. Season with black pepper and then add the drained pasta and vegetables. Toss to coat then serve. Mmmm
