EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

When shopping for zucchini, choose small zucchini which tend to be younger, more tender and have thinner skins. The skin should be a vibrant color and free of blemishes.

Gemelli is a pasta that looks like two strands of spaghetti twisted together. Rotini or penne pasta would work well in this recipe, too.

I make this using bow tie pasta instead and, if I have it on hand, cubed chicken instead of turkey. All that tweaking done with, this is a quick and easy casserole that can be made in the morning, put in the fridge, and popped in the oven that night. The leftovers reheat well. The only complaint is that (and I suppose this could depend on the sauce one uses) it can be a bland. I generally will dress it up a bit with Italian seasoning mix and a touch of tarragon.
