Preparation Steps
- Prep the zucchini by washing and slicing into thin rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 5-10 minutes, then pat dry.
- Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente (8-10 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water, then combine with spinach and artichoke hearts.
- Sauté diced red onion in olive oil until soft (3-5 minutes). Transfer to the mixing bowl with pasta and veggies.
- Caramelize the salted zucchini slices in the skillet until golden brown (3-6 minutes), and char half a lemon cut side down.
- Blend fresh basil, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, pepitas, yogurt, miso, olive oil, and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Season with salt.
- Pour half the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss gently to combine. Add more dressing if desired just before serving.

Notes
For best flavor, chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. Ingredients like zucchini and spinach may lose texture after freezing; add fresh veggies just before serving for crunch.
