Thai Pizza
PREP TIME: Approximately 15 minutes
COOK TIME: TurboChef : 4 minutes
Conventional : 30 minutes
This pizza is a delicious twist of  avors on a hand-stretched crust.
The Thai Peanut Sauce can be made in advance and used for this
pizza and as a dipping sauce for grilled chicken, shrimp, or beef.
1. In a food processor, blend Cream of Coconut, rice wine vinegar,
soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and red pepper  akes. Blend for 30 to
45 seconds or until ginger and garlic are minced into  ne
pieces.
2. Slowly add oil to mixture while continuing to blend. Add
peanut butter and cilantro and blend until smooth. Cilantro
should still be in visible pieces.
3. Transfer to a clean container and refrigerate until needed —up
to 30 days.
4. After the second proo ng of the dough, on a clean surface
sprinkled with corn meal, roll out the dough into a 12 to 13-
inch round. Stretch the dough to form a raised edge on the
outside and a thinner crust in the center. Place the dough on a
pizza screen or a TurboChef Te on Screen for a crisp crust. For a
softer crust, place dough on a pizza pan.
5. Select “Cookbooks” on the touchscreen. Select “Pizza & Pasta.”
Select “Thai Pizza” and press “Preheat” to begin the preheat
cycle.
6. Spread Thai Peanut Sauce evenly over the pizza crust. Cover the
sauce with mozzarella, chicken, carrots, bean sprouts, red
onion, and red bell pepper.
7. Place in the oven. Press “Start” and bake for 4 minutes. After
baking, remove pizza from the oven and sprinkle with chopped
peanuts and cilantro.

Baked Rigatoni
PREP TIME: Approximately 12 minutes
COOK TIME: TurboChef : 4 minutes
Conventional : 20 minutes
Rigatoni is a short, hollow pasta with a large hole in the middle.
The name comes from the ridges around the sides. It’s good for
almost any sauce you want to pair it with.
1. Select “Cookbooks” on the touchscreen. Select “Pizza & Pasta”
followed by “Baked Rigatoni.” Press “Preheat” to begin the
preheat cycle.
2. In a large quantity of water, boil pasta until just cooked al
dente, about 12 minutes. Drain well and mix with marinara
sauce. Transfer to a 1-1/2 to 2-inch deep ceramic or Pyrex dish.
Top with mozzarella and place the dish in the oven.
3. Press “Start” and cook for 4 minutes. When done, the top of the
cheese will be a golden brown and the inside should be hot
and bubbling around the edges. If using a deeper pan, increase
the cook time by using the “Cook More” function.
