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 top round steak, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 3-5 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

    Toast the Panko

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

    Add panko to hot pan and toast until golden-brown, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer panko to a plate and season with a pinch of salt. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Return pan used to toast panko to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add mushrooms and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned, 4-6 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    Add flour to hot pan and stir until no dry flour remains.

    Stir in 1/4 tsp. salt, minced garlic and chili pepper (to taste), cream base, garlic pepper, and 1 cup water until combined. Bring to a simmer.

    Kids not a fan of extra heat? Feel free to skip/reduce the minced garlic and chili pepper.

  4. 4

    Add Tortellini and Finish Dish

    Once simmering, stir tortellini into hot pan. Bring to a simmer again.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until sauce thickens and tortellini are heated through, 6-8 minutes.

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

    Remove from burner. Add butter (to taste) and stir until melted and combined, 30-60 seconds.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing tortellini with toasted panko. Bon appétit!
