SUMMER PASTA WITH ZUCCHINI, RICOTTA AND BASIL
A summer pasta should be simple and fresh, ideally made with vegetables straight from the garden or market. Look for the best artisanal ricotta; top-quality ingredients make all the difference here.

Steps:
- Put a pot of water on to boil. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the onions in 3 tablespoons olive oil until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat as necessary to keep onions from browning. Add zucchini, season generously with salt and pepper, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until rather soft, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat.
- Meanwhile, use a mortar and pestle to pound garlic, basil and a little salt into a rough paste (or use a mini food processor). Stir in 3 tablespoons olive oil.
- Salt the pasta water well and put in the pasta, stirring. Boil per package instructions but make sure to keep pasta quite al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of cooking water.
- Add cooked pasta to zucchini in skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Add 1/2 cup cooking water, then the ricotta, crushed red pepper and lemon zest, stirring to distribute. Check seasoning and adjust. Cook for 1 minute more. Mixture should look creamy. Add a little more pasta water if necessary. Add the basil paste and half the grated cheese and quickly stir to incorporate. Spoon pasta into warm soup plates and sprinkle with additional cheese. Serve immediately.

SUMMER ZUCCHINI TUSCAN PASTA
This recipe came together by chance. Lauren was given (many) zucchini from her co-worker's garden, and I made recipe #202377 for the Vegetarian swap, and had a lot left over! This took 15-20 minutes to make and it was delicious. Please note, the flavored oil was made ahead of time, and allowed to sit and let the flavors mix. Please also note that the recipe for the flavored oil below, is for one FULL batch of the oil. I proably only use about 1/2 cup flavored oil in TOTAL for this recipe. Nutrition info. probably does not reflect that.

SUMMER ZUCCHINI PASTA
I'm always experimenting when my garden is cranking out zucchini and summer squash. This simple and healthy summer zucchini pasta is one of my latest wins. It's meatless, but you can add shredded chicken or grilled salmon for a heartier dish. -Beth Berlin, Oak Creek, Wisconsin

PASTA WITH SUMMER SQUASH AND ZUCCHINI
Another simple but tasty recipe from Leanne Ely's Menu Mailers (savingdinner.com). I love a quick, healthy meal especially when it gets me compliments from my hubby. I used wholemeal spirals instead of the linguine the original called for, and simplified the instructions to avoid dirtying an extra pan unnecessarily.
