Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the orecchiette

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the orecchiette and cook until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the orecchiette, reserving 1 cup [2 cups] pasta cooking water. Return the orecchiette to the pot; toss with 2 to 3 teaspoons oil to keep the orecchiette from sticking. While the water is heating and the orecchiette is cooking, start preparing the rest of the meal.

2

Prep and cook your protein and vegetables

  • Cut a small corner from the protein packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions on the diagonal, keeping the white and green parts separate. Set aside the green parts for garnish.
  • Cut away any core from the cabbage; coarsely chop the cabbage.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring and breaking up the ground meat if using, until your protein is lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the thyme and white parts of the scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until your protein is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.

If the pan is dry, add 2 to 3 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and just starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

3

Finish the dish

  • Season the lemon-dill yogurt to taste with salt and pepper.

To the pot with the orecchiette, add your protein, cabbage, peas, and ¼ cup [½ cup] reserved pasta cooking water. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the ingredients are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes; if dry, add more pasta cooking water 1 tablespoon at a time. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the orecchiette to individual bowls, garnish with the lemon-dill yogurt and green parts of the scallions, and serve.
