SUMMER PASTA WITH ZUCCHINI, RICOTTA AND BASIL



Summer Pasta With Zucchini, Ricotta and Basil image

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.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, weeknight, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
2 pounds zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick pieces (for larger zucchini, cut in half lengthwise before slicing)
Salt and pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced, or 2 tablespoons chopped green garlic
1 ounce basil, about 2 cups loose leaves
1 pound ziti or other dry pasta
8 ounces ricotta, about 1 cup (see recipe)
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Zest of 1 lemon
2 ounces grated Parmesan, pecorino or a mixture, about 1 cup, plus more for serving

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.

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     Lunch & dinner recipes     Bonfire night recipes     Italian     Pasta bake     Lunch & dinner recipes     Mains     Pasta & risotto

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and chopped into 2.5cm pieces
olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely sliced
1 bunch of fresh basil, leaves picked, stalks finely chopped
1 x 400 g tins of chopped tomatoes
sea salt
500 g dried penne
freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons ricotta cheese
750 ml organic vegetable stock
150 g mozzarella ball
1 handful Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
2 sprigs fresh sage, leaves picked

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Place the squash on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and pop in the hot oven for around 15 minutes, or until tender.
  • Pour a couple of lugs of olive oil into a large frying pan, add the garlic and basil stalks and fry for a couple of minutes. Add your tomatoes to the pan, breaking them up with a wooden spoon and bring to the boil. Drop in the roasted squash, bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil, add the penne and cook for a couple of minutes less than it says on the packet. Drain, then toss with the sauce.
  • Tear up the basil leaves and sprinkle into the pan with some salt and pepper. Stir in the ricotta and the stock, then bring back to the boil.
  • Rub a large baking tray, ovenproof pan or earthenware dish with olive oil and spoon in all the pasta and sauce. Tear over the ball of mozzarella and top with the Parmesan. Rub the sage leaves with a little olive oil and put on top.
  • Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Serve with a crisp green salad.
  • Tip: If you're a chilli freak like me, try adding a chopped fresh chilli to your tomato sauce.

SUMMER SQUASH 'PASTA' WITH RICOTTA



Summer Squash 'pasta' With Ricotta image

Ribbons of summer squash coated in a garlic and red pepper flake spiked ricotta sauce. A healthy, fresh alternative to gluten free pasta!

Provided by GlutenFreeBlondie

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 medium summer squash (combo of yellow squash & green zucchini)
2 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 pint grape tomatoes, quartered (heirloom if available)
1/3 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (can substitute mascarpone or goat cheese)
1 handful fresh basil, chiffonaded
olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel one strip off of the first squash, lengthwise. Discard first strip (since it's all skin). Rotating the squash, continue peeling the squash so each strip has a thin sliver of skin. Once there is no skin left, use the peeler to slice around the remainder of the squash until you hit the seeds. Repeat with other two squashes.
  • In a large pan over medium heat, heat enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Once the garlic starts to turn golden, add the slivers of squash and a dash of salt and pepper. Using tongs, toss to coat and drizzle a little more oil if the squash looks dry. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the slivers start to wilt. At this point, add the tomatoes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in ricotta and fresh basil. Use the tongs to work the ricotta into a sauce, ensuring each strand of squash is coated.
  • Serve immediately or at room temperature.

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. On the baking sheet, toss the whole cherry tomatoes and sliced zucchini and squash with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and arrange in a single layer (or as close to a single layer as possible). Roast for about 25 minutes, tossing halfway, until the cherry tomatoes have burst and the squash is tender.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta until al dente, according to package directions. Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
  • While the pasta is hot, add the lemon juice, butter, goat cheese, garlic and red pepper flakes to the pot. Add about 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water and gently toss the pasta until the ingredients are evenly mixed together and the pasta is coated in a light sauce (add more reserved cooking water if the pasta seems dry).
  • Once the tomatoes and squash are out of the oven, add them to the pot along with all of the tomato juices. Gently toss once again to combine. Season to taste with salt (I added more than 1/2 teaspoon) and freshly ground pepper, then sprinkle chopped basil over the pasta and divide into individual serving bowls. Serve immediately.
