Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. 

  • If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. 

  • If using sirloin steaks, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  • Add protein to meal as desired.

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 8-10 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander/strainer and set aside.

    While pasta cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Pesto Crema

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/4" dice.

    Trim and halve yellow squash lengthwise. Cut into 1/4” half-moons.

    In a mixing bowl, combine pesto, creme fraiche, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Start the Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add bell peppers, yellow squash, and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until vegetables are tender, 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Spinach

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil, spinach, and garlic and parsley seasoning to hot pan. Stir occasionally until spinach is wilted, 1-2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Pasta and Sauce and Finish Dish

    Add pasta, tomato sauce, sugar, and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until pasta is heated through and sauce is slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes.

    If too thick, add reserved pasta cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.
