Cooking Steps
• 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 zucchini lengthwise; slice into 1⁄2-inch- thick half-moons. Dice tomato into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Peel and mince or grate garlic.
• Pat pork* dry with paper towels; season all over with half the Tuscan Heat Spice (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4-8 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer pork to one side of a baking sheet. Wipe out pan.
• Toss zucchini with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper on opposite side of baking sheet with pork. • Roast on top rack until pork is cooked through and zucchini is lightly browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
• Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water (11⁄2 cups for 4 servings), then drain.
• When pasta has 5 minutes left, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add tomato and garlic; cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Whisk in 1⁄4 cup reserved pasta cooking water (1/3 cup for 4 servings), cream cheese, and stock concentrate. Cook, stirring, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• Add drained spaghetti, zucchini, half the Parmesan, a splash of reserved pasta cooking water, and a drizzle of olive oil to pan with sauce; toss to combine. TIP: If needed, stir in more pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is thoroughly coated in sauce.
• Slice pork crosswise. • Divide spaghetti between plates; top with pork and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Serve.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
