PASTA WITH CORN, ZUCCHINI AND TOMATOES
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.

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.

SWEET CORN, ZUCCHINI, AND TOMATOES WITH BULGUR
Grain salads are ready in a flash and substantial without weighing you down-a perfect choice for lunch. This colorful tumble of tomatoes, corn, and squash invites improvisation: Swap red quinoa or brown basmati rice (cooked and cooled) for the bulgur, and fold in anything delicate and leafy in place of the arugula and radish sprouts.

Steps:
- Combine bulgur, 1 1/2 cups water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a drizzle of oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add scallions and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and zucchini; season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add butter and corn and cook, stirring, until corn is crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and cook until they just begin to release juices, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste. Add zucchini mixture to bulgur and toss. Fold in arugula and sprouts. Shave cheese over salad and serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better the flavor of your dish. Look for zucchini and corn that are brightly colored and free of blemishes. Tomatoes should be ripe and juicy.
- Cook the vegetables separately: This will help them retain their individual flavors and textures. Zucchini and corn can be cooked in a skillet over medium heat until tender, while tomatoes can be roasted in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will add depth and flavor to your dish. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and salt and pepper.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and lose their flavor. Zucchini and corn should be cooked until tender but still slightly crisp. Tomatoes should be roasted until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
- Serve the dish immediately: This is when the vegetables are at their best. You can serve the dish as a side dish or as a main course with a side of rice or bread.
Conclusion:
Zucchini, corn, and tomatoes are a delicious and versatile combination that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are all healthy and packed with nutrients, making them a great choice for a healthy meal. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that will please everyone at your table.
