600 Calories Or Less
All of these delicious recipes come in at 600 calories or less per serving, ideal for those who choose to monitor their caloric intake, without sacrificing flavor. The US Food & Drug Administration recommends a 2000 calorie daily intake for the general population. The 600 calorie cap equates to 30% of total 2000 calories per day based on 3 meals per day with 200 calories remaining for snack or beverage.
Carb Conscious
Our Carb Conscious recipes provide a balanced approach to carbohydrate consumption by replacing refined carbohydrates from sources like white flour, rice, and cane sugar with high-fiber foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Our Carb Conscious recipes have 42g or less of net carbohydrates (total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber) per serving, a 25% reduction in net carbs compared to the average Blue Apron recipe served in 2019. Due to the natural variation in size of and contribution of produce in our recipes, some recipes can be badged as Carb Conscious at 45g or less net carbs per serving.
Mediterranean Diet
Our Mediterranean recipes are inspired by the Mediterranean Diet, a healthy eating plan recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans published jointly every five years by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS). This eating plan highlights the flavors and cooking styles from countries along the Mediterranean Sea, including those in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. These recipes showcase a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, as well as lean proteins and moderate portions of dairy.
Plant-Forward
Our Plant-Forward recipes are designed by our chefs to help support a flexible diet that emphasizes plant-based foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and other legumes like lentils and soy foods, and includes occasional, moderate portions of meat, poultry, fish, and seafood.

Our diabetes friendly offering allows you to enjoy wholesome options while adhering to the guidelines set forth by the nutrition experts at our partner at the American Diabetes Association. A recipe with this badge features non-starchy, fibrous vegetables with a limit on calories, total carbohydrates, saturated fat, added sugar and sodium. For those chefs following ADA guidelines, it is recommended that no additional salt be added to this recipe when prepared and for chefs to skip all salting steps of a recipe.

This hearty, comforting beef bolognese clings to the ridges of creste di gallo (or “rooster’s crest”) pasta. It gets refreshing contrast from a side salad of romaine and radishes, dressed with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Italian seasoning.

instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients:
Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the celery. Peel and medium dice the shallot. Peel and roughly chop the garlic. Cut off and discard the root end of the lettuce; roughly chop the leaves. Cut off and discard the ends of the radishes; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise.
2
Start the bolognese:
In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the diced celery and shallot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 4 to 6 minutes, or until softened. Add the beef and chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. (If the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil.) Cook, frequently breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
3
Make the dressing:
While the bolognese cooks, in a bowl, combine the vinegar and half the Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in 2 teaspoons of olive oil until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Finish the bolognese:
To the pan, add the tomato sauce, remaining Italian seasoning, 1/2 cup of water, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any browned bits, 8 to 9 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5
Cook & finish the pasta:
While the bolognese cooks, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until al dente (still slightly firm to the bite). Reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, drain thoroughly. Transfer the cooked pasta to the pan of finished bolognese. Cook, stirring vigorously, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the pasta is coated. (If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the reserved pasta cooking water to achieve your desired consistency.) Turn off the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Make the salad & serve your dish:
Just before serving, in a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, sliced radishes, and enough of the dressing to coat the salad (you may have extra dressing). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the finished pasta with the salad on the side. Enjoy!
