Cooking Steps

1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • 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 penne. Cook for 12-14 min,stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
    Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cups) pasta water.
  • Strain penne, then return to the pot, off heat.
2
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/4 inch pieces.
  • Peel, mince or grate garlic.
  • Halve zucchini. Cut into 1/4-inch moons.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
3
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with half the Zesty Garlic Blend, salt and pepper.
  • In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium-high. When hot, add chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook 1-2 min per side, until golden. Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until cooked through.**
4
  • To the same pan (from step 3) over medium. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, onion and garlic. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring often, until onions soften.
  • Add Cream Sauce Spice Blend and remaining Zesty Garlic Blend. Cook for 30 sec, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  • Add 1/2 cup (1 cup) reserved pasta water, 2 tbsp 4 tbsp) milk and cream cheese. Whisk to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.
5
  • Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Add peas, simmer for 4-5 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens.
  • To the pot with pasta, add sauce, spinach, lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir until spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Thinly slice chicken. Add resting juices to pasta pot.
