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) |

  1. 1

    Start the Sausage

    Turn oven on to 425 degrees. Let preheat, at least 10 minutes. Remove all produce from any packaging or constraints, then thoroughly rinse and pat dry.

    Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary.

    Break sausage into bite-sized pieces and evenly divide between both provided trays.

    Bake uncovered in hot oven until sausage browns, 10 minutes.

    Carefully remove both trays from oven.

  2. 2

    Add the Pasta and Cheese

    Evenly divide pasta, tomatoes, garlic salt, peppers, and red pepper flakes (use less if spice averse) between both provided trays. Stir to combine.

    Top both trays evenly with mozzarella. Dollop ricotta evenly between both trays.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meal

    Bake both trays again uncovered in hot oven until sauce is bubbling and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 15-20 minutes.

    Carefully remove both trays from oven. Bon appétit!
