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

  • If using ground turkey, break up until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes. 

  • If using steak strips, pat dry, coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Stir occasionally until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 10-12 minutes.

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

    Wipe pot clean and reserve.

    While pasta cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Zucchini

    Trim zucchini ends, quarter, and cut into 1/2" dice.

    Zucchini quantity may vary, but total weight will remain the same. Don't worry; recipe instructions are not impacted.

  3. 3

    Cook the Ground Beef

    Return pot used to cook pasta to medium-high heat.

    Add ground beef, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot, dry pot. Break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Vegetables and Sauce

    Add zucchini and peas to hot pot. Stir occasionally until zucchini is slightly browned and tender, 3-5 minutes.

    Add marinara sauce, 1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking water, cream cheese, and garlic salt. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until sauce is slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes.

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

  5. 5

    Add Pasta and Cheese and Finish Dish

    Add pasta and 3/4 the Parmesan (reserve remaining for garnish) to hot pot. Stir occasionally until pasta is coated, 1-2 minutes.

    Evenly top with mozzarella. Cover until cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping pasta with remaining Parmesan. Bon appétit!
