1. Boil Water for Spaghetti:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

2. Prepare Meatball Mixture:

In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, chopped cilantro, egg, kosher salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Mix well and roll into 1” diameter meatballs, making about 24 meatballs.

3. Cook Spaghetti:

When the water boils, add several tablespoons of kosher salt to the boiling water. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions, about 9 minutes.

4. Cook Meatballs and Sauce:

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then add the meatballs in one even layer. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the jar of marinara sauce directly to the meatballs. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes.

5. Add Spinach:

After 10 minutes, the meatballs should be cooked. Add the baby spinach to the sauce and meatballs, cover, and let simmer for another 2 minutes. Remove the lid and wilt the remaining spinach by tossing it with the sauce.

6. Serve:

To finish the dish, plate the spaghetti in a bowl. Top with meatballs, the marinara sauce, and some grated parmesan. Serve immediately.
