Instructions

Prep
1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1⁄2-inch-thick half-moons. Trim and peel carrots; grate on the largest holes of a box grater. Zest and quarter lemon. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!

Roast Zucchini
2

• Toss zucchini on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until lightly browned and tender, 14-16 minutes.

Start Meat Sauce
3

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 1-2 minutes. • Add beef* and season with half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest in Step 6), salt (we used 1⁄2 tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. (Carefully drain any excess grease from pan.)

Cook Pasta
4

• While beef cooks, add penne to pot of boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. • Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain pasta. Transfer pasta to a serving bowl; toss with a drizzle of olive oil. Reserve pot for use in Step 6.

Finish Meat Sauce
5

• Add marinara and 1⁄2 cup reserved pasta cooking water (3⁄4 cup for 4 servings) to pan with beef mixture; stir to combine. • Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, 2-4 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, stir in more pasta cooking water a splash at a time.

Make Lemon Cream Sauce
6

• Whisk together cream sauce base, remaining garlic powder, and 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in pot used for pasta over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in juice from one lemon wedge (add more lemon juice if you prefer a tangier sauce) and as much lemon zest as you like. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Serve
7

• Serve penne, roasted zucchini, meat sauce, lemon cream sauce, Parmesan, chili flakes, and remaining lemon wedges family style and let everyone build their own plate.
