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.

To serve atop tender pearls of fregola sarda in this Mediterranean-style dish, we’re roasting cauliflower steaks in a coating of vibrant seasonings like thyme and oregano for warming flavor in every bite. A dollop of cooling tzatziki—a classic Greek cucumber and yogurt sauce—adds just a bit of welcome creaminess.

instructions
1
Prepare & roast the cauliflower or romanesco:
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. Remove the leaves of the cauliflower or romanesco; cut lengthwise through the stem into 1-inch-thick steaks (keeping them as intact as possible). Place on the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the za’atar. Carefully turn to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 25 to 27 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
2
Prepare the remaining ingredients:
While the cauliflower or romanesco roasts, crumble the cheese. Roughly chop the olives. Peel and finely chop the shallot to get 2 tablespoons (you may have extra). Halve the tomatoes. Combine in a bowl. Add the vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil to the tomato mixture. Season with salt and pepper; stir to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes.
3
Cook the pasta:
While the cauliflower or romanesco continues to roast, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water. Cook 14 to 16 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Stir in a drizzle of olive oil.
4
Finish the pasta & serve your dish:
To the pot of cooked pasta, add the marinated tomato mixture (including any liquid) and crumbled cheese. Stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished pasta topped with the roasted cauliflower or romanesco and tzatziki. Enjoy!
