Cooking Oil
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise; lay flat, then thinly slice crosswise into shreds. Zest and quarter lemon.
• Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. • Reserve 1½ cups pasta cooking water (2 cups for 4 servings), then drain. (Keep empty pot handy for step 4.) • Meanwhile, melt 1 TBSP plain butter (2 TBSP for 4) in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add panko and cook, stirring, until golden and toasted, 2-3 minutes. Stir in scallion whites and season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and slightly softened, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in a pinch of chili flakes if desired; cook for 30 seconds more. Turn off heat.
Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid; season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a second large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken or sausage; cook, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Once spaghetti is drained, heat empty pot over medium heat. Add cream sauce base and ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4 servings). • Bring to a simmer, then remove pan from heat. Whisk in cream cheese until melted and combined; taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Add drained spaghetti, Brussels sprouts, veggie stock concentrate, half the Italian Seasoning (all for 4 servings), garlic herb butter, Parmesan, scallion greens, half the lemon zest, and a big squeeze of lemon juice to pot with sauce. Cook, tossing, until butter has melted and pasta is coated in a creamy sauce, about 1 minute. TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time. • Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add more lemon juice if desired.
Add chicken or sausage to sauce along with drained spaghetti.
• Divide pasta between bowls. Top with panko and remaining lemon zest to taste. Sprinkle with remaining chili flakes if desired. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
