Cooking Steps

Cook Penne
1
  • To the boiling water, add penne. Cook for 10-12 min, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 1 cup pasta water (double for 4 portions).
  • Strain penne, then return to the pot, off heat.
Prep Veggies
2
  • Meanwhile, peel, then cut onion into ½-inch pieces.
  • Roughly chop spinach. 
Cook Beef & Onions
3
  • In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tsp oil (double for 4 portions) over medium-high heat.
  • When the pan is hot, add onions and beef. Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
  • Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
4
  • To the pan with beef, add Italian Herb Spice Blend and Cream Sauce Spice Blend. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant. 
  • Add marinara sauce and reserved pasta water. Bring to boil over high.
  • Reduce heat to medium and cook for 3-5 min, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. 
  • Season with pepper, to taste.
Assemble & Broil Pasta
5
  • Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish (9x13-inch for 4 portions).
  • To the pot with penne, add sauce, spinach, half the cheese and 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Stir until spinach wilts.
  • Transfer penne to the prepared baking dish.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
  • Broil on the middle rack of the oven for 1-3 min, until cheese is melted and golden-brown.
6
  • Divide pasta between plates.
  • Enjoy!
