Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small sweet onion, diced
  • 1 large carrots, finely diced
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 1 Cosmic Crisp® Apple, grated
  • Generous pinch salt and pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ cup dry red wine
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1, 24 oz jar marinara sauce of choice
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 lb rigatoni pasta

Directions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the oil.
  2. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and apple and season with salt and pepper. Saute until the veggies are mostly tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in the red wine and deglaze, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Let cook until most of the wine has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the beef and cook, stirring and breaking up the beef, until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Stir in the marinara sauce and pumpkin puree. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and add the pasta to the bolognese, stirring to coat the pasta in the sauce.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy!

Stuffing is the true MVP of Thanksgiving dinner! 🍂🍎

The perfectly balanced flavor of Cosmic Crisp® apples round out the tartness with a hint of sweetness in this Cranberry Cosmic Crisp® Apple Sourdough Stuffing.

📌 Here’s what you’ll need:
¼ Cup Salted Butter
1 Cosmic Crisp® Apple, Diced
1 Cup Diced Sweet Onion
½ Cup Diced Celery
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1 Tbsp Fresh Thyme, Finely Chopped
1 Tbsp Fresh Sage, Finely Chopped
1 Tbsp Fresh Rosemary, Finely Chopped
Generous Pinch of Salt & Pepper, To Taste
1 Cup Fresh Cranberries
1 Lb. Dried Sourdough Bread Cubes
2 Cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
1 Egg

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
2. Heat a medium pot over medium heat & add the butter. Once the butter melts, add the apple, onion & celery. Sauté for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the garlic & herbs. Sauté another 1-2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt & pepper, to taste. Remove from the heat, & let cool slightly. Add to a large bowl along with the bread cubes & cranberries.
4. Whisk the egg & stir with the broth. Drizzle the broth over the bread cubes & gently toss to coat the bread. Combine all ingredients. Add another ½ cup or so of broth if needed to wet the bread just enough to ensure none of the cubes are dry to the touch.
5. Transfer the bread mixture to a large baking dish. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the bread is fluffy and the edges are golden brown & crisp as desired.
