  • 2 cups (500 mL) diced cooked turkey

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375ºF. Spray 2-quart casserole with cooking spray. Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.
  • 2
    In casserole, mix pasta and remaining ingredients except cheese.
  • 3
    Cover; bake 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake uncovered 15 to 20 minutes longer or until bubbly and thoroughly heated.

  • Purchasing : When shopping for zucchini, choose small zucchini which tend to be younger, more tender and have thinner skins. The skin should be a vibrant colour and free of blemishes.
  • Substitution : Gemelli is a pasta that looks like two strands of spaghetti twisted together. Rotini or penne pasta would work well in this recipe, too.
