Steps:
- Bring a 6- to 8-quart pot of well-salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir together with vinegar, oil, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add tomatoes and stir gently, then set aside.
- Cook corn in boiling water until tender, 4-6 minutes, then remove with tongs and cool.
- While corn cools, peel lengthwise ribbons from 1 side of a zucchini with vegetable peeler into another bowl, stopping when you get to seedy core. Turn zucchini a quarter-turn, then peel more ribbons, stopping at core. Repeat on remaining 2 sides of zucchini (you will end up with rectangular-shaped cores). Reserve cores for another use (such as soup).
- Cut corn from cobs; add corn to tomatoes.
- Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Just before pasta is done, stir in zucchini ribbons and snap peas and cook 15 seconds. Drain pasta and vegetables together in a large colander and add to tomato mixture with onion (if using), then toss gently.
- Add herbs and toss gently again.

Steps:
- Slice off half the eggplant skin and slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick discs. Then stack the discs and cut the eggplant into 1/2-inch-wide batons. Salt the eggplant and let it drain on a kitchen towel for 20 minutes.
- Place the mint and 1 cup of the basil leaves with the toasted pine nuts in the bowl of a food processor. Season with salt and pepper and grate in 1 clove garlic. Add in the lemon zest and juice, then turn the processor on and stream in about 1/4 cup olive oil. Place the pesto in a large shallow bowl that you can serve the zucchini pasta from. Stir in the cheese.
- Using a vegetable peeler and shaving the length of the zucchinis very thinly slice them into wide, pasta-like ribbons. If the zucchini are large and seedy, discard the seeds once you get to the center. Flip the zucchini over and peel until you reach seeds. If the zucchini are firm and small to medium in size you'll be able to use all of the vegetable.
- Place the vegetable stock and 2 cups water in deep skillet.
- Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant to the hot oil and lightly brown, 6 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally. Toss and combine with the chile flakes and remaining garlic. Add the tomatoes and cover the pan with a tight fitting lid. Shake the pan occasionally and cook until the tomatoes burst, 7 to 8 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, heat the stock and water to low rolling boil, add the zucchini, cook 2 minutes. Use a spider or tongs to remove the zucchini to the pesto. Add 1 cup cooking liquids and toss to coat and combine, using additional cooking liquids if necessary. Top with extra cheese to serve.
- Remove the lid from the eggplant and tear in the remaining 1/2 cup basil leaves. Toss to combine.
- Serve the zucchini piled up on plate with the eggplant alongside, topping eggplant with crumbled ricotta salata.
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

ZUCCHINI AND TUNA PAPPARDELLE
Think of this recipe as a roadmap - salmon or chicken work as well as the tuna, as does any shorter pasta. This recipe goes together quickly once you start cooking, so have everything ready to go. I do not recall where I got this recipe. I always use low-sodium broths.

Steps:
- Cook pasta in salted water until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Using a vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini into ribbons and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots or onions, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper and saute until golden, about 5 minutes.
- Add wine and cook until it is almost all evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the broth and cook 2 to 3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium, add the cream and simmer until just thickened., 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the peas and cook 1 minute.
- Add the 1/2 cup cheese and the tuna and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Drain the pasta, reserving a few tablespoons of the cooking water, and add the pasta and reserved cooking water to the skillet.
- Add the zucchini, 3 tbl chives, and lemon juice, and toss gently. Correct seasonings.
- Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with remaining chives and 2 tbl parmesan.
Tips:
- Use a mandoline or vegetable peeler to create long, thin strips of zucchini. This will help the pappardelle cook evenly and look more like traditional pasta.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the zucchini. This will prevent the strips from sticking together and cooking evenly.
- Cook the zucchini for just a few minutes, until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make the zucchini mushy.
- Be careful when flipping the zucchini. The strips can be delicate and easily break.
- Serve the pappardelle immediately with your favorite sauce. It can be a simple tomato sauce, a creamy Alfredo sauce, or a pesto sauce.
- Add some extra vegetables to the dish, such as sautéed mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers.
- Garnish the pappardelle with fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or chives.
Conclusion:
Pappardelle of zucchini is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pasta. It is easy to make and can be served with a variety of sauces. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner and is sure to please everyone at the table.
