LEMONY PASTA WITH ZUCCHINI AND FRESH HERBS



Lemony Pasta With Zucchini and Fresh Herbs image

This simple pasta comes together quickly and makes use of what can sometimes be an overwhelming bumper crop of zucchini and other summer squash come August. Browning the squash in two batches is the only semi-fussy request, and it pays off by giving the squash an almost crunchy texture. Lemon and an abundance of fresh herbs provide brightness to this soon-to-be summer staple. Serve it with a tomato and onion salad dressed with plenty of grassy olive oil.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fusilli or other short curvy pasta
1 1/2 pounds zucchini or other summer squash, or a combination, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2- inch thick pieces
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup grated Pecorino or grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped herbs, such as mint, basil, chervil, Italian parsley, plus more for garnish
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add pasta and cook until it is just under al dente, 1 minute less than package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the zucchini or other squash: Season chunks with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the squash in one layer (you may need to do this in two batches) and cook undisturbed until it begins to turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from the pan and set aside. Taste and season again, if necessary.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until the garlic becomes translucent, about 30 seconds. Add the squash back to the pan along with the lemon juice and half the lemon zest. Toss to combine.
  • Add the pasta to the skillet, and toss to combine. Add 1/2 cup of the pasta water and the grated cheese, and toss until the cheese emulsifies and is silky. If needed, add an additional 1/4 cup pasta water or more to loosen. Add the fresh herbs and toss again. Top with additional herbs and the remaining lemon zest. Serve in bowls, and pass grated cheese at the table. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

ZUCCHINI AND LEMON PIE



Zucchini and Lemon Pie image

This recipe is from Madeleine Kamman's book When French Women Cook. This is great as a summertime dessert with coffee. I have also made it in a square pan and cut it into bars for an appetizer. You could use a store bought pie crust, but the crust is actually quite easy to make. I usually bake the crust with the zucchini while I am mixing the custard to cut down on time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they may be tough and seedy.
  • Grate the zucchini correctly. To get the best results, use a box grater with large holes. Grating the zucchini too finely will make the pie too watery.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pie tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the pie until the center is set. The pie is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.

Conclusion:

Zucchini and lemon pie is a delicious and refreshing summer dessert that is easy to make. With its creamy, tangy filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you have a surplus of zucchini, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
