Tuscan Turkey Soupy Noodles

Ingredients for Tuscan Turkey Soupy Noodles

• Carcass from a 12- to 6.4kg roast turkey, including skin, or 2.7kg turkey wings

• 3.8L water

• 2 medium leeks, greens reserved and white and pale green parts washed (see Cooking Tips) and chopped

• 6 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

• 60ml olive oil

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped rosemary

• 3 carrots, chopped

• 3 celery ribs, chopped

• 1 (800g) can whole tomatoes in juice, drained and chopped

• 230g dried egg pasta squares (such as Cipriani brand tagliardi), or dried no-boil egg lasagne sheets (such as Barilla), broken into roughly 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces

• 5 to 230g baby spinach

• grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Break down carcass into smaller pieces. Simmer carcass, water, reserved leek greens, and 1/2 teaspoons salt in a 7- to 10-quart heavy pot, uncovered, skimming froth, 3 hours.

Discard large bones with a slotted spoon or tongs, then strain stock through a large sieve into a large bowl (discard solids).

If stock measures less than 2400ml , add water. If it measures more, boil until reduced.

If using stock right away, let stand until fat rises to top, 1 to 2 minutes, then skim off and discard fat. If not, chill (covered once cool) before removing fat. (It will be easier to remove when cool or cold.)

Cook garlic in oil in cleaned pot over medium heat, stirring, until pale golden, about 1 minute. Add onion and 1/4 teaspoons salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in chopped leeks and rosemary and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until leeks are softened, about 5 minutes. Add carrots, celery, and 1/4 teaspoons salt and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and stock and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir in pasta and briskly simmer soup, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente. Add spinach and stir until wilted.
