Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into 1/2-inchthick half-moons. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Zest and quarter lemon.

• Toss bell pepper and zucchini on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until tender and lightly charred, 15-18 minutes. **Meanwhile, rinse shrimp under cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp or sausage; cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through, 3-5 minutes for shrimp or 4-6 minutes for sausage. **

• Once water is boiling, add penne to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. • Reserve 11/2 cups pasta cooking water (2 cups for 4 servings), then drain. (Keep empty pot handy for next step.)

• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in pot used for pasta over medium heat. Add scallion whites and 1 tsp Tuscan Heat Spice (2 tsp for 4 servings); cook, stirring, 1 minute. (Be sure to measure the Tuscan Heat Spice; we sent more.) • Whisk in cream sauce base, stock concentrate, and 1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking water (1/2 cup for 4). Cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium low and whisk in crème fraîche until smooth.

• Add drained penne, peas, half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving), half the lemon zest, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and a big squeeze of lemon juice to pot with sauce. Cook, stirring, until butter has melted and penne is coated in a creamy sauce. TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time. • Stir in roasted veggies. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add more lemon zest or lemon juice if you like. TIP: For an extra-rich experience, stir in another 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). **Stir in shrimp or sausage along with roasted veggies. **

• Divide pasta between plates. Top with scallion greens and remaining Parmesan. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
