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
-
If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.
-
If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 3-4 minutes per side.
-
1 Cook the Tortellini
Once water is boiling, add tortellini and cook until al dente, 3-4 minutes.
Remove from burner. Drain tortellini in a colander/strainer and set aside.
While tortellini cooks, continue recipe.
-
2 Cook the Tomatoes
Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 4 tsp. olive oil.
Add tomatoes, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tomatoes are slightly browned and starting to soften, 4-6 minutes.
If you receive one whole tomato instead, not to worry; simply core tomato, cut into 1/2" dice, and proceed with recipe instructions.
Transfer tomatoes to a plate. Wipe pan clean and keep over medium heat.
-
3 Make the Sauce
Add 4 tsp. olive oil, plain butter, and minced garlic and lemon basil to hot pan. Stir occasionally until butter is melted and garlic is fragrant, 30-60 seconds.
Add half the flour (remaining is yours to use as you please!) and stir until no dry flour remains. Add 1 1/2 cups water and stir occasionally until combined, 1-2 minutes.
Add creme fraiche, pesto butter, and peas. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, stir occasionally until sauce is slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
If too thick, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
-
4 Add Tortellini and Finish Dish
Add tortellini, garlic salt, tomatoes, and half the cheese (reserve remaining for garnish) to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tortellini is heated through and cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes.
Remove from burner.
