1 |
Fill a large
stockpot ¾-full of water, cover, and bring to a boil.
Add 2 tsp. of the salt and the spaghetti and cook until
al dente (cooked through but still slightly chewy), 8 to
10 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set
aside. |

Preheat oven to
375°F. Butter a 9x13-inch baking pan. In a medium sauté
pan or skillet, melt the butter over a medium heat. Add
the flour and cook, stirring, until faintly colored,
about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the stock or broth
until the sauce is smooth and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
Whisk in the cream, then add the remaining ½ tsp. salt,
the rosemary, thyme, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir in the
turkey and peas and heat through. Taste and adjust the
seasonings, then remove from the heat. |

Put pasta in the
prepared dish and spoon the turkey mixture over it. In a
small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and the Parmesan.
Sprinkle evenly over the sauce. Bake, uncovered, until
heated through and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Turn on the
broiler and quickly brown the top of the casserole. |
