Cooking Steps

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!)
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

  • 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.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink, 2-3 min.**
  • Remove from heat, then transfer shrimp to a plate.
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.

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.
