I received three different tasty meals- this Creamy Poblano Bolognese, Seared Cod with Mediterranean Bean & Tomato Salad and Parmesan-Crusted Chicken with Balsamic Potato Salad and Garlic-Roasted Tomatoes. All meals were so satisfying and easy to prepare. Brad went crazy for the Parmesan-Crusted Chicken and said it was some of the best chicken he’s eaten. Needless to say, I didn’t get to enjoy much of that meal. 😉 When delivered, each of the meals are organized separately to keep the food prep and cooking easy peasy.

Author: Kim

Ingredients

  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/4 oz. fresh thyme
  • 1 large poblano pepper
  • 8 oz. organic lean ground beef, or turkey
  • 14.5 oz. can crushed tomatoes
  • 6 oz. linguine
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions 

  • Prep the ingredients: Wash and dry all produce. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Halve, peel, and dice the onion. Peel and finely dice the carrot. Mince or grate the garlic. Strip the thyme leaves off the sprig. Core, seed, and thinly slice the poblano.
  • Cook the beef: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking up the meat into pieces, until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Cook the poblano: Add the poblano to the same pan over medium-high heat. Add another drizzle of olive oil, if necessary. Cook, tossing for 3-4 minutes or until slightly blistered. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside with the beef.
  • Boil the pasta: Add the pasta to the boiling water. Cook for 9-11 minutes, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
  • Make the sauce: While the pasta cooks, heat another drizzle of olive oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing for 5 minutes until softened. Add the beef, poblanos, and the diced tomatoes to the pan. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Toss and serve: Add the pasta to the sauce along with a splash of pasta water and the sour cream. Toss to combine, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the pasta with Parmesan on top and enjoy!
