• Before starting, wash and dry all produce. 
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.

• 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 servings). 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.

• To the boiling water, add linguine. Cook for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
• Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water. Strain linguine, then return to the pot, off heat.

• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
• When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then zucchini, peppers snd shrimp. Season with garlic salt and pepper.
• Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp and shrimp just turn pink, 3-4 min.
• Add garlic and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) chilies. (Like things spicy? Add more chilies!)
• Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until fragrant.

• 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 for 1-2 min, until spinach wilts. Set aside.

• To the pot with linguine, add veggies and sauce, reserved pasta water, half the Parmesan and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
• Divide zucchini and lemon linguine between bowls.
• Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
• Squeeze a lemon wedge over top and sprinkle with any remaining chilies, if you like.

If you've opted to add shrimp, using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

 When the pan is hot, add shrimp along with the zucchini and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until  is veggies are tender-crisp and shrimp just turn pink, 3-4 min.** Remove from heat. Proceed with remaining instructions as written.
