Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. Cook until pasta is al dente, about 11 minutes. When pasta is done, pour peas into the pot; stir; drain pasta and peas; set aside.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter; add flour; whisk 2 -3 minutes to cook out the floury taste. Add Italian seasoning, garlic, rosemary, and salt; whisk to combine. Add 2 c. milk; continue to whisk, allow sauce to thicken. Add cheeses; whisk until combined; add lemon zest; stir. When cheese is completely melted, continue stirring until sauce is thick and creamy.
Pour cheese mixture over pasta and peas, stir in diced chicken; add remaining cup of milk; mix well. Pasta will thicken as it sits.
Serve.
