Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces thin spaghetti
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste, divided
  • 4 tablespoons 2 ounces butter
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup flour

  • 3 cups diced cooked turkey breast
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons drained diced pimientos from a jar

Instructions

  • Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil with 2 teaspoons of salt. Add the spaghetti and cook following the package directions. Drain well.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook, frequently stirring, until the onions are translucent and the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated.
