Roasted Zucchini and Tomato Pasta image

Roasting the zucchini and tomatoes rather than sauteing them intensifies their flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 pounds zucchini, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 pound long fusilli or linquine
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. On rimmed baking sheet, toss zucchini, tomatoes, and garlic with 5 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread into single layer; roast until zucchini is lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Return pasta to pot. Toss with remaining tablespoon oil; cover.
  • Pour reserved pasta water onto baking sheet of cooked vegetables; scrape with a wooden spoon to loosen browned bits. Stir vegetables and juices into pasta. Add parsley and Parmesan; toss to combine. Serve with more Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are large, misshapen, or have soft spots.
  • Slice the zucchini thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes. This will add flavor and color to your dish. Try using a combination of cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and Roma tomatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the zucchini and tomatoes in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Zucchini tomato toss is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for summer. It is a great way to use up fresh zucchini and tomatoes from your garden. This dish is also very versatile.
