Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Heat Guide for Step 6: 1/4 tsp mild, 1/2 tsp medium and 1 tsp spicy! 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. Add rigatoni to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return rigatoni to the same pot, off heat.
Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach. Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch pieces.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate.

Cook, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat. Add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 min. Add Cream Sauce Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until pork is coated, 1 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Add 1/2 cup milk (dbl for 4 ppl) and broth concentrate to the pan with pork. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Add zucchini and spinach. Cook, stirring often, until spinach wilts, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
