The creamy sauce and the bright flavors of lemon and basil make this recipe delicious and versatile. Try it with rotisserie chicken, too. Ingredients:
1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated fresh linguine pasta |
1 (8-ounce) container crème fraîche |
1 teaspoon lemon zest |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
3 cups shredded cooked turkey |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta in boiling salted water according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together crème fraîche and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water. Toss pasta and turkey in sauce mixture, adding enough cooking water to evenly coat pasta. Stir in lemon juice and basil. Serve immediately.
3. *Crème fraîche is a cultured cream product similar to sour cream, but with a less tangy taste and a softer texture. You can substitute Mexican crema or a mixture of equal parts sour cream and whipping cream.
