Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.

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 chilis!)

Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until linguine is tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return linguine to the same pot, off heat.

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.

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. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired. Sprinkle with any remaining chilies, if desired.
