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) |

  1. 1

    Toast the Pine Nuts

    Place a medium pan over medium heat. Add pine nuts to hot, dry pan and toast, stirring frequently, until nuts are aromatic and light brown, about 2-5 minutes. Remove pine nuts to a plate and reserve pan for cooking pasta (no need to wipe clean).

  2. 2

    Cook the Pasta

    Mince garlic. Break spaghetti in half and place in medium pan used to toast pine nuts. Add half the garlic, cooking cream, vegetable base, 3 1/4 cups water, and 1 1/2 tsp. salt to pan. Cover, place over high heat, and bring to a boil. Uncover, reduce to a strong simmer, and cook 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and liquid has reduced to a light creamy sauce that just clings to pasta. Taste and add a pinch of salt if desired.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Ingredients

    While pasta cooks, zest lemon, halve, and juice. Hold romaine head at root end and chop coarsely. Cut Roma tomatoes into 1/4" dice. Trim cucumbers and cut on an angle into 1/4” ovals.

  4. 4

    Make the Salad

    Combine raspberry vinaigrette, romaine, spinach, cucumber, remaining garlic, and half the tomatoes in a mixing bowl. Toss and season to taste with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Give pasta a final toss with 2 Tbsp. lemon juice and place in a shallow bowl. Garnish with lemon zest (to taste), remaining tomatoes, pine nuts, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Serve salad on the side.
