Ingredients

  • 12 oz spaghetti or linguini
  • 4-6 slices bacon chopped into half-inch pieces
  • 1 ½ cups chopped onions
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 12 oz package mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tsp Herbes de Provence
  • 3 Tbsp butter; divided
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 ¾ cup half and half yes, you can substitute or combine with milk, less rich/less calories
  • 2 cups Swanson Certified Organic Chicken Broth
  • ¼ cup sherry or dry white wine
  • 3 cups chopped cooked turkey
  • 1 cup peas cooked
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan divided
  • cup Panko bread crumbs
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Cook pasta al dente, drain well; toss w a bit of olive oil if not ready to add to sauce, and set aside.
  • Cook bacon in a large oven-proof casserole dish. When the bacon has rendered most of the fat but is not yet crisp, add the onions and saute for 5-6 minutes or until they start to become translucent; add the garlic and saute for 2 more minutes. Add mushrooms, Herbes de Provence and 2 Tbsp of butter and cook over medium heat until the mushrooms have softened and their liquid has evaporated, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Sift flour over mixture in pan; stirring constantly. Cook over low heat, continuing to stir, for 2-3 minutes to cook off flour taste.
  • Add the half and half, broth and sherry. Bring to simmer and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Add the pasta, turkey, peas and bacon to the pan. Stir in 2/3 cup of the Parmesan cheese.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and Panko bread crumbs; salt and pepper to taste.
  • Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the turkey mixture and dot the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces.
  • Bake 30 - 40 minutes until top is golden brown.
