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. |
