Honey Tips
How Honey Is Created
Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°.
In a large bowl, toss fettuccine and spinach with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add half & half and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Toss well.
Heat remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir in leeks and cook for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms. Cook an additional 3 minutes. Stir in turkey, ricotta cheese, wine, tarragon and honey, salt and pepper to taste. Blend well and heat through.
In a very large dish (such as broiler pan) arrange fettuccine mixture around the edges. Pour turkey mixture in center. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top of the casserole. Cover tightly with foil.
Bake for 15 minutes or until heated thoroughly. If prepared in advance and refrigerated, heat about 30 minutes.
