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 |

Customize It Instructions

  • If using 16 oz. Italian sausage, follow same instructions as 8 oz. sausage, working in batches, if necessary.

  • If using Impossible burger, follow same instructions as Italian sausage in Step 3, breaking up burger until heated through, 6-8 minutes.

  • If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Follow same instructions as Italian sausage in Step 3, stirring occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water in medium pot is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 11-13 minutes.

    Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander and set aside.

    While pasta cooks, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Mince garlic.

    Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary.

    Halve French roll. Place roll halves on prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Top evenly with basil oil and half the garlic (reserve remaining for sausage).

  3. 3

    Cook the Italian Sausage

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add Italian sausage to hot, dry pan. Stir occasionally, breaking up into pieces, until no pink remains and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Add remaining garlic and stir until aromatic, 30-60 seconds.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Toast the Garlic Bread

    Place baking sheet with roll in hot oven and toast until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes.

    While roll toasts, make sauce.

  5. 5

    Add Sauce and Finish Dish

    Return pan with Italian sausage to medium heat.

    Add 1/3 cup pasta cooking water, tomato paste, cream base, and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pan. Bring to a boil.

    Once boiling, stir in pasta and spinach. Then stir occasionally until spinach is wilted, 1-2 minutes.

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

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card. Bon appétit!
