In 1984, they chose to farm organically on a 2 ½-acre patch of land in Carmel Valley, believing that growing food in harmony with nature was the right path. With roots tracing back to that small backyard farm, the company continues to uphold a deep love for the land and for wholesome food.

Nature's Path has always believed that humanity's best hope for a better planet lies in the way food is grown and produced. Food connects everyone, making it one of the simplest ways to create a positive impact on the planet. Eating organic can contribute to a more sustainable future—but only if people enjoy it. That’s why it must also be delicious, allowing better choices to be made without compromise.

Egg Roll in a Bowl

Ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1 small red onion (diced)
  • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. ginger (finely minced)
  • 1 lb. ground pork
  • 2 tsp. sriracha sauce

  • 1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
  • salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)
Directions
  • Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add red onion, cook 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ground pork and Sriracha. Cook and crumble until pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160° F, about 7-10 minutes.

Homemade Chicken Taquitos

Homemade Chicken Taquitos

Ingredients
  • 4 chicken thighs, cooked
  • 1 container La Preferida Organic Green Enchilada Sauce
  • Mission Soft Taco Tortilla
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella
  • 4 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
Directions
  • Shred chicken and fold in ¼ cup enchilada sauce + ½ cup cheese (save the remaining cheese.) Mix well.
  • Heat the remaining enchilada sauce in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Warm up the tortillas on the stovetop or microwave to make them pliable.
  • Spoon 2 Tbsp of chicken mixture near one edge of the tortilla and tightly roll. Add a few pinches of cheese to the edge of the tortilla at the end – this will help seal it when heated.
  • In a large pan, add oil and heat over medium heat until hot. Add taquitos, a few at a time, being sure not to crowd the pan. Rotate quickly, turning every few seconds until crisp on all sides.
  • Remove from heat and add to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • To serve, add to a plate and pour over enchilada sauce or serve as a dipping sauce. Garnish with cilantro.

Red Pesto Bacon Rigatoni Pasta

Red Pesto Bacon Rigatoni Pasta

Ingredients
  • 8 oz (dry) Pasta Zara Rigatoni Pasta
  • 6 oz Hot Italian Sausage
  • 3 slices Thick Cut Bacon
  • 1/4 Medium Yellow Onion (diced small)
  • 2 cups Spinach
  • 1.5 oz Dry Packed Sun-dried Tomatoes
  • 6 Tbsp Sacla Pesto Chili
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Basil
  • 1 Tbsp Shredded Parmesan
Directions
  • Begin by cooking bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess grease, set aside.
  • Pour off most, but not all, of the bacon grease from the skillet. Then cook Italian Sausage until browned and transfer to the plate with the bacon. Do not clean or drain this skillet.
  • Cook pasta in a separate pot according to package instructions to al dente, approximately 9-10 minutes. Meanwhile, add the diced onion to the bacon and sausage skillet and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Add sun-dried tomatoes to skillet along with 1/2 cup of pasta water from the other pot. Cook to re-hydrate the sun-dried tomatoes, about 2 minutes. Then add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, another 2 minutes.
  • When the pasta is finished cooking, drain the pasta, but keep a reserve of pasta water (at least 1 cup).
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, along with 6 Tbsp Sacla Pesto Chili. Stir to combine. Add pasta water as necessary to get the pasta fully coated.
  • Crumble the bacon and add it to the skillet along with the cooked Italian sausage. Stir to combine.
  • Serve hot and garnish with fresh basil and parmesan cheese.
