Instructions

Boil water
1
  • Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl).
  • Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon (use same for 4 ppl). Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Thinly slice chili, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping chilies!)
Cook linguine and chicken
3
  • Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return linguine to the same pot, off heat.
  • As linguine cooks, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken.
  • Sear until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.**
  • Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
  • Reuse the same pan to cook veggies in step 4.
Cook veggies
4
  • Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then zucchini and peppers. Season with garlic salt and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
  • Add garlic and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) chilies. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.)
  • Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min.
Make sauce
5
  • Remove the pan with veggies from heat, then add spinach, pesto, cream, goat cheese, lemon zest and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice.
  • Season with pepper, then stir until spinach wilts, 1-2 min. Set aside.
Finish and serve
6
  • Add veggies and sauce, reserved pasta water, half the Parmesan and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter to the pot with linguine. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
  • Divide zucchini and lemon linguine between bowls. Arrange chicken over top.
  • Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
  • Sprinkle with any remaining chilies, if desired.

If you've opted to add chicken tenders, as linguine cooks, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.** Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm. Reuse the same pan to cook veggies in next step.
