Preparation

Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (use same for 4 servings). Wash and dry all produce.
To the boiling water, add spaghetti. Cook uncovered for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite. Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water.
Strain spaghetti, then return to the pot, off heat.
Rough chop spinach.
Peel, then grate or mince garlic.

Meanwhile, line a plate with paper towels.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
Drain and rinse capers, then pat dry with paper towels.
When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and capers.
Fry for 1-2 min, stirring often, until crispy. Add panko and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) chili flakes and continue cooking for 1-2 min, until golden. (TIP: Like things spicy? Add more chili flakes!)
Transfer to a bowl. Set aside.

To the same pan, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and turkey.
Cook for 1-2 min, breaking up turkey into smaller pieces. Add garlic and continue cooking for 2 -3 min, until no pink remains.**
Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.

To the pan, add pesto, tomato sauce base, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, reserved pasta water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Transfer sauce to the pot with spaghetti. Add spinach. Stir for 1 min, until spinach is wilted.
