Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare casserole dish by spraying with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Cook the pasta to al dente in boiling salted water. Reserve 1 cup pasta water. Drain pasta well.
Place large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and the ground turkey, diced onions and mushrooms. Seasoning with steak seasoning. Cook until no longer pink.
Add the spinach and pasta sauce. Stir until combined.
Add the cooked pasta and ½ the shredded cheese. Stir and mix well. If needed add the reserved pasta water about ¼ cup at a time. (I used about a ⅓ cup of pasta water.)
Spoon the pasta mixture into the baking dish. Spread into one even layer. Top with remaining shredded cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes until it's hot and bubbly.
Optional - Remove foil and place under broiler for 2-3 minutes until the top of the pasta is browned. Serve and enjoy!
