Cooking Steps
- Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (use same for 4 servings).
- Wash and dry all produce.
- To the boiling water, add spaghetti. Cook for 10 min.
- Meanwhile, trim ends off broccolini, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces. When spaghetti has only 3 minutes left to cook, add broccolini to pot with spaghetti. Cook for 3 min, until broccolini is tender-crisp and spaghetti is tender but still firm to the bite.

- Peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Zest half a lemon, then cut into wedges.
- Using a strainer, drain and rinse beans.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan to melt.
- Add shallots and garlic. Cook 1-2 min, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add reserved pasta liquid and cream cheese to the pan. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionlly, until slightly thickened and cream cheese is melted.
- Add cream and chickpeas. Cook for 2-3 min, until slightly thickened and chickpeas are warmed through. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour sauce over spaghetti and broccolini in the pot and add lemon zest.
