Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 pound whole-wheat linguine
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, halved and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 zucchini (8 ounces each), halved crosswise, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and cut into 1/4-inch sticks
2 plum tomatoes, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips (see below)
3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add zucchini and 1/2 cup water; season with salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally until zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup pasta water; return to pot. Add zucchini mixture, remaining tablespoon oil, tomatoes, 1/2 cup Parmesan, and reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Serve immediately, sprinkled with remaining Parmesan.

PASTA WITH CORN, ZUCCHINI AND TOMATOES



Pasta With Corn, Zucchini And Tomatoes image

The two things I love most about this dish of summer vegetables and pasta are the crunch of the corn against the tenderness of the pasta and the fact that I cannot seem to settle on a combination of flavorings that I think is best. Chile powder, a little bit of cayenne, perhaps some cilantro are all excellent choices. But with pasta this seems too heretical even for a culinary atheist like me, so I usually go in a tamer direction: a suspicion of garlic with some fresh tarragon or basil. It is flexible not only in its flavorings but in its ingredients. You can use onions, garlic or shallots, singly or in combination; add string beans (or even fresh limas) to the mix; substitute eggplant for the zucchini. Think of it as a delicious mélange of whatever is on hand.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter
1 cup corn kernels (from 2 or 3 ears)
1 cup diced zucchini or summer squash (from 2 or 3 small vegetables)
1 medium onion or 3 or 4 shallots, diced
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic, optional
1 or 2 sprigs tarragon
4 plum or 2 large tomatoes, diced
1 pound cut pasta, like penne

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water to boil and salt it. Put 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until corn begins to brown. Add zucchini and some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini begins to brown.
  • Add onion or shallots and garlic if you are using it. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add tarragon and cook for 30 seconds, then tomatoes. Put pasta in boiling water and cook until tender but not mushy, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While pasta cooks continue to cook sauce, reducing heat when tomatoes begin to break down. If sauce dries out (with plum tomatoes, this is likely), add some pasta cooking water, about 1/2 cup at a time. When pasta is done, drain it, toss with sauce and remaining oil or butter, and serve immediately.

THAT ZUCCHINI SPAGHETTI STANLEY TUCCI LOVES (SPAGHETTI ALLA NERANO)



That Zucchini Spaghetti Stanley Tucci Loves (Spaghetti alla Nerano) image

After listening to Stanley Tucci lose his mind about this pasta and calling it life-changing and one of the best things he's ever eaten, I decided I'd give it a try. The results were amazing and the key to getting the toasted sweet taste of the zucchini was deep-frying it!

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Vegetarian Zucchini Main Dishes

Time 8h55m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 quart sunflower oil, or as needed
6 medium green zucchini
4 ounces spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pinch salt
2 basil leaves, torn into small pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese
3 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Place sunflower oil in a deep fryer and heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice zucchini into 1/8-inch rounds.
  • Add some zucchini to the hot oil and deep-fry until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a single layer on paper towels to drain and repeat to cook remaining zucchini. Let zucchini cool to room temperature.
  • Transfer cooled zucchini to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until it's 2 minutes away from being tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 10 minutes.
  • As you are cooking the spaghetti, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to release juices, soften, and break down, 3 to 5 minutes. Add a couple splashes of the pasta water to the zucchini, but don't overdo it. Break zucchini into small pieces with the edge of a spoon or spatula. Reduce heat to low and toss in basil and butter; stir until butter melts.
  • Grab spaghetti with tongs and transfer it right into the sauce; stir until coated. Mix in Pecorino Romano and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses. Add a final splash of pasta water and adjust salt if needed.
  • Serve with more grated cheese and fresh basil.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe zucchini: Look for zucchini that is firm, deep green in color, and free of blemishes. Avoid zucchini that is soft, wrinkled, or yellowed.
  • Slice the zucchini thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Sauté the zucchini in olive oil until it is tender: Do not overcrowd the pan, or the zucchini will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Add cherry tomatoes, garlic, and red pepper flakes: These ingredients will add flavor and color to the dish.
  • Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions: Be sure to salt the water before adding the spaghetti.
  • Combine the spaghetti, zucchini, tomatoes, and sauce in a large bowl: Toss to coat.
  • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This spaghetti with zucchini and tomatoes is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The zucchini and tomatoes add a fresh, summery flavor to the dish, while the garlic and red pepper flakes add a bit of spice.
