CHERRY TOMATO, BOCCONCINI, AND ZUCCHINI PIE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add zucchini; cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden and liquid has been released, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
• Halve one-third of the tomatoes. Stir halved and whole tomatoes, cheeses, basil, lemon zest, flour, and sugar into shallot-zucchini mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 13-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Make seven 3-inch-long cuts around edge of dough, evenly spacing. Trim to make 7 rounded flaps. Transfer to a 10-inch pie plate. Drizzle crust with remaining tablespoon oil. Spread with filling. Fold in flaps of crust, slightly overlapping. Put tomatoes on the vine in center. Refrigerate until cold, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk cream and egg yolk in a small bowl. Brush crust with egg wash. Bake pie on a rimmed baking sheet until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling, about 45 minutes.

• Remove and add the crushed garlic and the shredded cheddar cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes.
• Serve hot with fresh chopped parsley on top.

SPAGHETTI WITH ZUCCHINI AND FRESH CHERRY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
• Spiralize the zucchini using the blade on your spiralizer that makes spaghetti-like noodles. (If you don't have a spiralizer, don't panic. You can julienne your zucchini using a julienne peeler or your chef's knife. The latter will take you a while, but it's doable.) Pat the zucchini noodles dry with paper towels, and briefly set them aside.
• Next, whip up the tomato sauce. Add all the ingredients for the sauce to the bowl of a food processor (or blender). Pulse a few times until the ingredients are incorporated and you have a chunky, rustic sauce. (Don't over-process, people, you want texture!) Taste and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the sauce to a large mixing bowl.
• Cook the pasta al dente according to the package directions. Drain.
• Immediately add the spaghetti to the bowl with the tomato sauce and toss to coat. Let the pasta rest for 2 minutes to absorb some of the sauce.
• During the last few minutes of the pasta's cooking time, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet until shimmering. Add the zucchini noodles. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes until just tender. (Be careful not to overcook them!!) Add the zucchini noodles to the bowl with the pasta and toss to combine. Add the mozzarella pearls and toss again. Serve immediately.

HEIRLOOM TOMATOES AND ZUCCHINI PIE

Steps:

• Pie crust -- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and unfold your thawed pie crust in a pie plate and pork a few holes in it before baking. Bake 5-8 minutes to blind bake or slightly brown before adding the filling. Just lightly brown. Follow the directions of the pie crust.
• Vegetables -- Pre-cook the zucchini. I like to just bake on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper for 5-10 minutes. I drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and just spread out and bake at 400 degrees, until slightly cooked but not too soft. You just want them to get a head start is all.
• Make the pie -- Put the zucchini slices on the bottom of the pie crust after it comes out of the oven and slightly cooled. Top the zucchini with the thin onion rings, and now top with the heirloom tomatoes, it is fun to alternate the colors if you have them. If not, just layer them slightly overlapping to top the zucchini.
• Cheese mixture -- In a small bowl mix the cheese, mayo, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Spread the mixture over tomatoes. In a small bowl, melt the tablespoon of butter in the microwave and then add the bread crumbs and mix well. Top the tomato pie with the bread crumbs and bake 15-20 minutes at 425 degrees until golden brown.

ZUCCHINI TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 10 inch pie pan.
• Combine zucchini, tomato, onion, and Parmesan cheese in prepared pie pan. In a small bowl, combine biscuit mix, milk, eggs, and salt and pepper. Beat until smooth, then pour over vegetable mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

A SIMPLE CHERRY TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA SALAD

• This will keep in the refrigerator for about two days.

MARINATED ZUCCHINI TOMATO MOZZARELLA SALAD

Steps:

• Rinse the zucchini and shave or slice it very thinly. This goes best with a mandolin slicer. Otherwise a sharp knife with a long blade will do. You can also use a vegetable peeler. Once you have sliced the zucchini, place the slivers on a microwave-resistant plate or tray.
• Place the zucchini in the microwave and cook them for 2 minutes until soft. You can also grill them instead of using a microwave. Make sure it doesn't burn. Do this in batches if necessary.
• Combine the balsamic vinegar and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Lightly brush a medium baking dish with this mixture and place some slices of zucchini on top of it. The zucchini is fragile, try not the tear it.
• Brush again lightly and top with some more zucchini. Sprinkle with a little pepper now and then. Keep brushing the zucchini slices until all have been used.
• Brush one last time with the balsamic vinegar mixture to keep the top layer moist. Cover it with some cling film and let the zucchini marinate in the fridge for at least an hour. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Divide the marinated zucchini ribbons over plates. Top with some shredded fresh mozzarella di bufala and garnish your plates with sliced cherry tomatoes, the pine nuts, the croutons and the fresh basil. Sprinkle with some freshly ground black pepper and extra olive oil. Serve.
