If you have some leftover turkey or chicken after a holiday dinner, make tetrazzini pasta with turkey, spinach, and mushrooms in a creamy sauce. Spinach isn't typically considered a traditional ingredient in tetrazzini, but it adds a fresh flavor and healthy fiber.

1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.

1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

  • 220 g wide egg noodles
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Half a small onion, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 220 g brown button mushrooms, stems removed, caps thinly sliced

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package directions. Pour off 0.5 cups of water and drain the noodles in a colander. Toss the noodles with 1 tablespoon of butter and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are lightly golden, 6 to 7 minutes.

  3. Add the wine and cook until absorbed, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, 4 to 5 minutes.
  4. Add the turkey and spinach to the sauce and cook until the turkey is heated through and the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the pasta liquid and return to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese.
  5. Toss the noodles with the turkey mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
