Difficulty: 2/3

**Now with more chicken! You asked, we listened: This isn't the HelloFresh you remember. Bigger menu. Upgraded recipes. Increased portion sizes. More variety. The best way to cook dinner just got BETTER.** Tender chicken rollatini—stuffed with creamy pesto breadcrumbs—tops a bed of cavatappi and roasted zucchini tossed in a rich pink marinara sauce. Each golden slice of chicken adds deeply savory flavor and, while the sauce-soaked pasta and tender veg round out this cozy, Italian-inspired comfort dish.

Preparation
1
Cook Pasta

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. • Once water is boiling, add cavatappi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. • Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain.

2
 Prep & Mix Filling

• While pasta cooks, wash and dry produce. • Trim and quarter zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick pieces. Halve, peel, and finely chop shallot. • In a small bowl, combine panko, basil paste, half the cream cheese, and half the Parmesan.

3
Prep & Season Chicken

• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about ¼ inch thick. Remove and discard top layer of plastic wrap. Season chicken all over with ½ tsp Italian Seasoning (1 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. • Keeping chicken on plastic wrap, add panko filling to bottom third of each cutlet. Tightly roll up chicken over filling, starting with filled sides, removing plastic wrap as you go. • Place stuffed chicken, seam sides down, on one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet. Lightly drizzle olive oil over chicken

4
Roast Chicken & Zucchini

• On opposite side of sheet from stuffed chicken, toss zucchini with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast chicken and veggies on top rack until chicken is cooked through, 15-18 minutes.

5
Make Sauce

• Meanwhile, in a second small bowl, whisk together stock concentrate and ½ cup water(1 cup for 4 servings). • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add shallot and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add tomato paste; cook until darkened in color, 30-60 seconds. Whisk in reserved pasta cooking water, chicken stock mixture, garlic powder, 1 tsp Italian Seasoning, and 1 tsp sugar until smooth (use 2 tsp Italian Seasoning and 2 tsp sugar for 4). (Be sure to measure the Italian Seasoning—we sent more!) • Whisk in remaining cream cheese and cook until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes more.

6
Finish & Serve

• Remove pan with sauce from heat; add drained cavatappi and zucchini and toss until everything is coated in sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. • Slice chicken crosswise. • Divide pasta between bowls and top with chicken. Top with remaining Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, and pepper. Serve. ***Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.***
