Wash and dry all produce. Bring a #large pot{} of salted water to a boil. Adjust oven rack to upper position and preheat oven to 400°F. Zest @lemon{1%unit} to get ½ tsp zest, then cut into quarters. Squeeze 1 tbsp juice into a #small bowl{} (save any remaining lemon for another use). Cut @roma tomato{1%unit} into ½-inch-thick wedges.

Line a #baking sheet{} with #aluminum foil{}, then arrange tomato wedges on it skin-side down. Sprinkle with a drizzle of @olive oil{1%tbsp}. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp @tuscan heat spice{1%tsp} (save the rest for step 4). Roast in oven until wilted and beginning to release their juices ~{25%minutes}.

Around the same time that tomatoes have roasted ~{10%minutes}, add @linguine{1%unit} to pot of boiling water. Cook until al dente ~{10-12%minutes}. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water, then drain. Set linguine aside in #strainer{}; keep pot handy for use in step 5.

Pat @chicken breast strips{8%oz} dry with #paper towel{} and season with salt, pepper, and remaining tuscan heat spice. Heat a drizzle of @vegetable oil{1%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through ~{3-4%minutes}. Remove from heat.

Add 1 tbsp @butter{1%tbsp} to pot used for pasta and place over medium-low heat. Add lemon zest, @cream cheese{4%oz}, and ¼ cup pasta cooking water and whisk until smooth. Stir in linguine, @garlic herb butter{1%tbsp}, reserved lemon juice, and half the @parmesan cheese{½%cup}. Toss in chicken, then season with salt and pepper. If pasta seems dry, add more cooking water, a little at a time, until coated in a loose sauce.

Pick @basil{1%unit} leaves from stems; discard stems and roughly chop or tear leaves. Divide pasta between bowls and top with tomato wedges. Garnish with basil and remaining parmesan cheese.
