A note about serious food allergies

Sometimes we're gentle with our bowlfuls of pasta, but this time we're laying on the heat. Spicy sausage and a smattering of red pepper flakes inch this meal up the non-pepper Scoville scale (which doesn't exist). Those elements go amazingly well with fork-twirling pasta, hearty tomatoes, and sweet peas. The heat is on!

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using chicken breasts, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Follow same instructions as sausage in Step 1, stirring occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using Impossible burger, follow same instructions as sausage in Step 1, breaking up burger until heated through, 4-6 minutes.

  • If using flank steak, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Follow same instructions as sausage in Step 1, stirring occasionally until no pink remains and steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Italian Sausage

    Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary.

    Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and Italian sausage to hot pan.

    Break into smaller pieces until no pink remains and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    Stir seasoning blend and a pinch of red pepper flakes (to taste; reserve remaining for garnish) into hot pan until combined.

    Add tomatoes, garlic oil, cream base, and 1/4 cup water. Stir constantly until thoroughly combined, 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Pasta

    Add pasta and peas to hot pan. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until pasta is heated through, 3-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner. If too thick, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish
