Preparation
1
Cook pasta

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups hot water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.Add fusilli to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 9-11 min. Reserve 1 1/4 cups (2 cups) pasta water, then drain and return fusilli to the same pot, off heat.

2
Prep zucchini and chicken

Meanwhile, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Cover chicken with plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pot, carefully pound each chicken breast until 1/2-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

3
Cook chicken

When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp butter, then swirl the pan to melt. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan! Cook chicken in 2 batches, using 1/2 tbsp butter per batch, if needed.)Add chicken, then carefully spread half the pesto over tops of chicken.Sear on one side until golden-brown, 2 min.Transfer chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle Parmesan over top.Roast in the top of the oven until chicken is cooked through, 8-10 min.**

4
Cook zucchini

When fusilli is done, return the same pan to medium-high.When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan to melt.Add zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend over the pan, then add tomato sauce base. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant and zucchini is coated, 30 sec.

5
Finish fusilli

Add cream cheese, fusilli and 1 cup (1 1/2 cups) reserved pasta water to the pan. Bring to a simmer, stirring often, to combine cream cheese.Simmer, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly and zucchini is tender-crisp, 2-3 min. (TIP: Add reserved pasta water, 1 tbsp at a time, if sauce reduces too fast.)Remove the pan from heat, then stir in remaining pesto. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

6
Finish and serve

Stir in any juices from the baking sheet into the pan with fusilli.Divide fusilli between plates.Top with chicken.
