Fixing the Chez Mik classic cuisine Smoked Turkey Rosemary Pasta. Wanted to re-post the recipe, but don't even have a link back to Tapatalk anymore.

Dang.

Made this again last night - maybe best version ever. It's in the TNCR cookbook from 2006, but I started making it around 1986.

1/2 lb smoked turkey, cut in 1/4" cubes
1/2 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
EV Olive oil, to taste (1/4 C?)
1/4 cup white wine if you like
zest of 1 orange (don't skip this - important)
ground up rosemary to taste (1 t - 1 T - I tend to about 1 T)
1 - 3 cloves garlic, crushed
12 oz linguini or spaghetti

toast pine nuts
dice smoked turkey
start pasta water & cook as you do rest

heat EVOO in skillet, med ht.
when hot enough, add turkey and 1/2 rosemary, saute
after 5 min or so add white wine
when pasta is almost ready, add rest of rosemary, garlic, orange zest and pine nuts to turkey mix.. add EVOO to taste

mix with hot pasta and maybe 1/3 C pasta water.

Yum.. been making this for 20 30+ years. Good with white wine or red. You can add parmesan if you like but I think it hurts the flavors.

Thanks, George. I could recite from memory but that’s too much typing. Turned out great. I used bucatini, probably better with a thinner strand like linguine.

Wow. That's the longest cook time ever, 1986 to 2020.
