PESTO ZUCCHINI PASTA NESTS

Steps:

• Using a medium pot, add water, olive oil and salt. Bring water to a boil and add in 2 pasta nests. Reduce heat and cook until al dente.
• Using a food processor, add the fresh basil and some olive oil. Puree until soft. Using a hand held blender combine the puree basil, a clove of garlic, and a fair amount of olive oil. Once smooth add in the cheese. After cheese is properly incorporated add chopped pine nuts.
• Slice zucchini into 1/8 inch slices. Using a saute pan, add olive oil. Once oil is heated, add zucchini and sprinkle with salt. Once one side of zucchini is golden brown, flip and cook the other until even.
• Serve pasta nests with zucchini on the side, drizzle pesto sauce on top and serve immediately.

PESTO ONION PROSCIUTTO PASTA

Steps:

• Start the water boiling for the pasta.
• Put the olive oil in a big deep skillet and turn it on high. If you haven't chopped the veggies yet, chop them and dump them in the skillet as you go.
• Start sauteing the onions, bell peppers, garlic, and mushrooms over medium high heat. You want them to develop some golden color, not just get mushy cooked. I do this while I wait for the water to boil.
• When the water comes to a boil, add the pasta. Then add the proscuitto or bacon to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir, and then turn the heat down to medium low.
• If you are not using wine, you will need to reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water from the pasta right before the pasta is cooked.
• When the pasta is cooked, drain. Return it to the cooking pot and cover. This will keep the pasta warm.
• It's time to deglaze the pan with the vegetables. Use either the wine or the reserved pasta water. Stir and scrape to get all the good stuff off the bottom of the pot. You may need to turn the heat back up, you want the liquid to come to a boil and reduce slightly.
• Combine the cooked vegetables and the pasta in the larger of your two cooking pots (or a big serving bowl). Add the cannellini beans, parmesean cheese and pesto. Stir. Taste. If you think you need to add salt, add it.
• Move to a big serving bowl or individual plates. Garnish with basil, tomato, pepper, and balsamic vinegar. (This works great with a thick balsamic, it doesn't work well with the cheaper thin stuff).
• Leftovers are fantastic heated or cold like a pasta salad.
• OAMC adaptation: Cook the vegetable part as directed. Add the cannellini beans, pesto, and parmesean cheese. Then freeze. When you thaw you will need to cook/drain the pasta and then add in the HEATED vegetable pesto combo. I will make up a double batch of the veggies and freeze at least half.

PASTA WITH TOMATOES, ZUCCHINI AND PESTO

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, onion and garlic and saut until zucchini is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with juices and simmer until almost all liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain; return to pot.
• Add pesto to pasta and toss to coat. Add zucchini mixture and toss over low heat to combine. Mix in basil. Season pasta with salt and pepper. Transfer pasta to large bowl. Serve, passing Parmesan cheese separately.
