How to make it
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. Peel and thinly slice garlic. Trim and quarter zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick pieces. Zest and quarter lemon. Finely chop parsley.
2
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant, 1 minute. TIP: Keep a close eye on the garlic to avoid burning. Remove from heat as soon as it turns a pale golden color.Turn off heat; using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe out pan.
3
Once water is boiling, add penne to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain and set aside.While pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for garlic over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and cook, stirring, until tender and lightly golden, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.Transfer to a plate.
4
While zucchini cooks, open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid; season with salt and pepper.Once zucchini is done, heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.Reduce heat to medium.Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Swap in shrimp for chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
5
Stir in cream sauce base, ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4 servings), and a big squeeze of lemon juice; cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, stir in another splash or two of pasta cooking water.
6
Add drained penne, toasted garlic, zucchini, half the Parmesan, half the parsley, half the lemon zest (use all the zest if desired), and 2 TBSP butter (3 TBSP for 4 servings) to pan with sauce. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If needed, stir in more pasta cooking water a splash at a time until everything is coated in a creamy sauce.Divide pasta between bowls.

Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I tracked my meal delivery spending through three summers. The pattern’s embarrassing: June hits, I promise myself I’ll meal prep and eat clean, then by July I’m ordering Chipotle at 9 PM because it’s 95 degrees and I can’t face turning on the stove. August?

Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I went vegan for 90 days while working 60-hour weeks.

My freezer became a staging area for Blue Apron boxes instead of bulk chicken thighs. The math shocked me. A family of six ordering Chipotle twice...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent last summer testing every meal delivery service that promised to keep me eating clean while Nashville hit 95 degrees by 10 AM. The goal: figure out which services actually deliver fresh food that doesn’t wilt in transit, and which ones are just marketing “summer...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I’ve cooked through a lot of meal kits trying to impress dates. Some worked. Some. did not.

Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent three months feeding my nephew dinner from meal delivery services. He’s eight, picky as hell, and thinks vegetables are a personal attack.

Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I tracked my mom’s Uber Eats spending for a month. $387. That number made me physically uncomfortable.
