• 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!)

• 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.
• Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear for 3-4 min per side, until chicken is golden and cooked through.** Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

• Heat the same pan over medium-high.
• When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then zucchini and peppers. Season with garlic salt and pepper.
• Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp.
• 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. 
• Top bowls with chicken.
• 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 chicken breast tenders, pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear for 3-4 min per side, until chicken is golden and cooked through.** Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Use the same pan to cook veggies in step 4.
