Zucchini and Lemon Linguine

We love zucchini all year long here at Hello Fresh. This dish combines some of ourfavourite pairings. Green peas, zucchini and basil pesto make it feel like summer even though the days are growing shorter. A little squeeze of lemon at the end brings the whole dish together!

Cooking Steps
Wash and dry all produce.* In a large pot, add 10 1/2 cups water and 2 tsp salt. (NOTE: Use the same water and salt amount for 4 ppl!) Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, quarter zucchini lengthwise, then thinly slice into 1/4-inch thick triangles. Peel, then mince or grate the garlic. Zest the lemon(s), then cut into wedges. Thinly slice chili, removing the seeds for less heat.
Add the linguine to the large pot of boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, 10-12 min.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then the zucchini and chili. (TIP: Adjust chili heat using the spice guide in the Start Strong!) Cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender, 3-4 min. When the pasta is tender, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain.
Add the peas, garlic, basil pesto and reserved pasta water to the pan with the zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min. Add the linguine, lemon zest, half the Parmesan and 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring together, until the pasta is warmed through, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide the zucchini and lemon linguine between bowls. Sprinkle over the remaining Parmesan and squeeze over a lemon wedge, if desired.
