Ingredients
10 oz. Steak Strips
8 oz. Cooked Penne Pasta
4 fl. oz. Cream Sauce Base
1 Zucchini
1 oz. Basil Pesto
1 oz. Grated Parmesan Cheese
½ oz. Shredded Parmesan Cheese
2 tsp. Minced Garlic and Parsley
0.28 oz. Lemon Juice
6 Chive Sprigs
1 tsp. Garlic Pepper
½ tsp. Lemon N Herb Seasoning
How to make it
1
Pat the steak strips dry; coarsely chop and separate the pieces. Season all over with garlic pepper and 1/4 tsp. salt. Place a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add the steak strips and stir occasionally until no pink remains and they reach 145°F, 4-6 minutes. Remove from heat and rest 3 minutes. Continue with the recipe while the steak cooks.
2
Trim the zucchini ends, halve lengthwise, and cut into 1/4-inch half-moons on an angle. Mince the chives.
3
Place another large nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add the zucchini, lemon herb seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally until slightly browned and tender, 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and parsley; stir constantly until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.
4
Add the grated cheese, cream base, pesto, lemon juice (to taste), and a pinch of salt to the pan. Stir and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the pasta and steak strips; stir often until everything is heated through, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. Divide between plates and top with the shredded cheese and chives.

Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I tracked my meal delivery spending through three summers. The pattern’s embarrassing: June hits, I promise myself I’ll meal prep and eat clean, then by July I’m ordering Chipotle at 9 PM because it’s 95 degrees and I can’t face turning on the stove. August? Full...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I went vegan for 90 days while working 60-hour weeks. Not because I’m some wellness influencer with a meal prep Sunday ritual. because I wanted to see if it was actually possible without turning into the person who brings sad lettuce to every work lunch. The...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I fed a family of six for three months using nothing but meal delivery services. My Costco membership gathered dust. My freezer became a staging area for Blue Apron boxes instead of bulk chicken thighs. The math shocked me. A family of six ordering Chipotle twice...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent last summer testing every meal delivery service that promised to keep me eating clean while Nashville hit 95 degrees by 10 AM. The goal: figure out which services actually deliver fresh food that doesn’t wilt in transit, and which ones are just marketing “summer...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I’ve cooked through a lot of meal kits trying to impress dates. Some worked. Some. did not. The difference between a fun couples’ cooking night and a kitchen disaster comes down to three things: timing (nobody wants to be chopping onions at 9 PM), difficulty (if...

Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent three months feeding my nephew dinner from meal delivery services. He’s eight, picky as hell, and thinks vegetables are a personal attack. By week two, I had strong opinions. Here’s what I learned: most meal kits aren’t actually designed for kids. They’re designed for...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I’ve spent more money on date night meal delivery than I care to admit. Not because I’m some kind of romantic. because I got tired of the same three restaurants and the “what do you want to eat” standoff that kills the vibe before you even...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I tracked my mom’s Uber Eats spending for a month. $387. That number made me physically uncomfortable. She’s not ordering fancy stuff. just dinner because she’s exhausted after work and the idea of chopping vegetables sounds like a personal attack. The delivery apps know this. They...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent $420 on a week of Sakara meals. That’s not a typo. $420 for five days of plant-based food delivered to my door in Brooklyn. The box showed up looking like it belonged in a Goop photo shoot, packed in compostable materials with little cards...
