Instructions
- 1
Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Once done, drain, rinse, and toss cooked spaghetti with a little olive oil to help prevent pasta from sticking together.

While pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of garlic-infused olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add leek leaves and saute, stirring occasionally, until leek leaves are bright green, fragrant, and soft. Carefully transfer sauteed leek leaves to a blender. Add tomatoes, basil leaves, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, (optional) red pepper flakes, and salt to the blender. Blend until smooth. Set aside.

In now empty pan, heat remaining 1 tablespoon of garlic-infused olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add ground turkey and brown, breaking apart into crumbles, until cooked. Add tomato sauce from blender and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add cooked pasta and spiralized zucchini, and stir until well coated. Serve warm topped with optional garnishes.
