Cooking Steps

Prep and cook pasta
1
  • Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings).
  • Wash and dry all produce. 
  • To the boiling water, add rigatoni. Cook for 12-14 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water.
  • Strain rigatoni, then return to the pot, off heat. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then stir to combine.
  • Strain roasted peppers.
Prep and make pesto
2
  • Halve zucchini lengthwise. Cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Rougly chop parlsey.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • To a food processor, add roasted peppers, walnuts, half the parsley, garlic, lemon zest,  lemon juice, half the Parmesan and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) oil. (TIP: We really love using olive oil for this recipe.) Blend on low until well-incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. 
Cook zucchini
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and zucchini. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp.
Finish pasta
4
  • Meanwhile, heat the pot with pasta over medium. Add cream, Italian Herb Spice Blend, reserved pasta water, zucchini, pesto and half the chili flakes. (TIP: If you like extra kick, add a little more!) Stir to combine.
  • Cook for 2-3, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Finish and serve
5
  • Divide pasta between bowls.
  • Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and remaining parsley.
