SUMMER PASTA WITH ZUCCHINI, RICOTTA AND BASIL
A summer pasta should be simple and fresh, ideally made with vegetables straight from the garden or market. Look for the best artisanal ricotta; top-quality ingredients make all the difference here.

Steps:
- Put a pot of water on to boil. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the onions in 3 tablespoons olive oil until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat as necessary to keep onions from browning. Add zucchini, season generously with salt and pepper, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until rather soft, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat.
- Meanwhile, use a mortar and pestle to pound garlic, basil and a little salt into a rough paste (or use a mini food processor). Stir in 3 tablespoons olive oil.
- Salt the pasta water well and put in the pasta, stirring. Boil per package instructions but make sure to keep pasta quite al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of cooking water.
- Add cooked pasta to zucchini in skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Add 1/2 cup cooking water, then the ricotta, crushed red pepper and lemon zest, stirring to distribute. Check seasoning and adjust. Cook for 1 minute more. Mixture should look creamy. Add a little more pasta water if necessary. Add the basil paste and half the grated cheese and quickly stir to incorporate. Spoon pasta into warm soup plates and sprinkle with additional cheese. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Combine the cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, basil leaves, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, and the pepper in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and set aside at room temperature for about 4 hours.
- Just before you're ready to serve, bring a large pot of water with a splash of olive oil and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil and add the pasta. Cook al dente according to the directions on the package (be careful - it only takes 2 to 3 minutes!). Drain the pasta well and add to the bowl with the cherry tomatoes. Add the cheese and some extra fresh basil leaves and toss well. Serve in big bowls with extra cheese on each serving.

SUMMER ZUCCHINI PASTA
I'm always experimenting when my garden is cranking out zucchini and summer squash. This simple and healthy summer zucchini pasta is one of my latest wins. It's meatless, but you can add shredded chicken or grilled salmon for a heartier dish. -Beth Berlin, Oak Creek, Wisconsin

- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package directions minus 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta.
- While waiting for the water to boil, heat a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil; once hot, add the onions with a pinch of salt and sweat until translucent and softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the zucchini, season generously with salt and pepper, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is soft and golden in places, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Crush the garlic to a paste with the back of a knife, add the basil and finely chop together until the basil is finely chopped and the garlic is incorporated.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the zucchini and return to medium-low heat. Add the ricotta and mascarpone, gently tossing until melted and it coats the pasta. Add enough reserved pasta water to form a smooth and silky sauce, starting with about 1/3 cup and continuing to add until your desired consistency is reached. Add the crushed red pepper, lemon zest and salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil-garlic mixture and the grated Parmesan, tossing to combine. Spoon the pasta in serving bowls and garnish with more fresh basil leaves and Parmesan cheese before serving.
