Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings).
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
- To the boiling water, add rigatoni. Cook for 12-13 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
Reserve 1 cup (2 cups) pasta water. - Strain rigatoni, then return to the pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, pat dry chicken dry with paper towels.
- To a medium bowl, add chicken breasts, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, half the Mediterranean Spice Blend, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden. Transfer chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven for 12-14 min, until cooked through.** (If there are burnt bits, wipe pan clean.)
- Meanwhile, reheat the same pan over medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and zucchini. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Add onion, garlic and remaining Mediterranean Spice Blend. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until zucchini is tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, cream and pesto. Stir to combine.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then add half the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- To the pan with veggies and sauce, add rigatoni and 1/3 cup (2/3 cups) reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. (NOTE: Continue adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired consistency).
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide pasta between bowls, then top with chicken.
- Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top.
If you've opted to get chicken breasts, sear in the same way the recipe instructs you to sear chicken thighs, then increase the roast time to 12-14 min.
