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 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, 10-12 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Drain pasta in a colander/strainer, shaking to remove as much water as possible. Set aside. Reserve pot; no need to wipe clean.

    While pasta cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut mushrooms into 1/4" slices.

    Coarsely crush croutons.

    Stem thyme.

    Halve and peel onion. Slice halves into thin strips.

    Mince garlic.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushroom-Onion Mixture

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

    Add mushrooms, onions, garlic, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until onions and mushrooms have browned, 10-12 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Add the Sauce and Pasta

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

    Add cream base, vegetable base, half the thyme (reserve remaining for garnish), half the cheese (reserve remaining for topping), pasta, and mushroom-onion mixture to hot pot. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 2-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Bake Casserole and Finish Dish

    Transfer pasta mixture to prepared casserole dish. Top with crushed croutons and remaining cheese.

    Bake in hot oven until cheese is golden-brown, 6-8 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing with remaining thyme. Bon appétit!
