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 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

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim woody ends off asparagus. Cut into 1'' pieces.

    Zest lemon, halve, and juice.

    Mince chives.

    Mince garlic.

  2. 2

    Toast the Breadcrumbs

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1/2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add panko to hot pan. Stir occasionally until golden-brown and toasted, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer panko to a plate. Let cool, at least 5 minutes.

    Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

    After 5 minutes, or once cool enough to handle, stir chives and 1 tsp. lemon zest into panko until combined.

  3. 3

    Toast the Gnocchi

    Line another plate with a paper towel.

    Return pan used to toast panko to medium heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Add gnocchi to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tender and golden-brown, 5-7 minutes.

    Transfer gnocchi to towel-lined plate and season with lemon n herb seasoning and a pinch of salt. Keep pan over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Cook the Asparagus

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil, asparagus, and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tender, but still crisp, 8-10 minutes.

    If asparagus are thinner than a pencil, check for doneness sooner.

  5. 5

    Add Sauce and Gnocchi and Finish Dish

    Add garlic to hot pan. Stir occasionally until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.

    Add peas, cream base, 1/4 cup water, and cheese. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, add gnocchi, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice (to taste), and 1/4 tsp. salt. Stir occasionally until gnocchi is coated and sauce is slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

    If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.
