ZUCCHINI PASTA
Zucchini, not pasta, is the star of the show in this easy weeknight dish from Mark Bittman. Six zucchinis, two tomatoes and one onion for a half pound of pasta make this a vegetable-rich tangle that makes worthy use of your farmers' market haul.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini, onion and thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper and adjust heat so onion and zucchini release their liquid without browning. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until very tender.
- Add tomatoes and their liquid to zucchini and raise heat a bit so mixture bubbles. Cook pasta until it is nearly but not quite tender. If sauce threatens to dry out, add a little pasta cooking water.
- Drain pasta and finish cooking it in sauce. Serve, garnished with parsley or Parmesan.

SPAGHETTI WITH ZUCCHINI
Lo Scoglio in Positano, Italy, is one of Katie Lee's favorite old restaurants. After a recent trip to the Amalfi Coast, she came home with the best possible souvenir: a recipe for Lo Scoglio's famous zucchini pasta. "The owner said it wouldn't be the same because we don't have their zucchini in the States," says Katie, "but I think it's about 98 percent there!"

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, 9 to 11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic; when it begins to sizzle, add the zucchini and saute for a couple of minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the pasta water and cook until the zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and half of the basil. Remove the garlic.
- Add the pasta to the skillet along with about 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water; shake the pan vigorously, adding a little more cooking water if the pasta looks dry. Cook, tossing, until the liquid is absorbed, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the parmigiano, pecorino and the remaining basil; toss. Top with more Parmesan.

ROASTED TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI PASTA
The roasting is an extra step that makes a world of difference in this recipe. I didn't use as much oil in this as the recipe states - using cooking spray on the roasting pan and on the vegetables worked very well to replace much of it. From Everyday Food Magazine March/April 2003

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Generously butter a 9x12-inch casserole pan and coat with half the bread crumbs.
- Place the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with the salt.
- Cover with a plate (press down on the zucchini), weighted down with a heavy object.
- The salt will draw the liquid from the zucchini; the plate will help squeeze it out.
- Allow the zucchini to sit for about 20 minutes.
- Place the onion, celery, carrot and pancetta or bacon in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture is chopped into tiny pieces.
- In a large, deep sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the vegetable-pancetta mixture and the garlic.
- Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add the sausage, stirring to break it up further and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until the sausage is cooked through.
- Add the wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the tomato sauce and broth.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
- You should have a thin rather than thick pasta sauce; you want it liquid, as the mixture will eventually bake.
- Set the sauce aside, and cook the pasta in the boiling water according to the package directions.
- Do not overcook; the pasta should hold its shape.
- While the pasta is cooking, rinse the zucchini.
- Wrap in a clean, dry kitchen towel and squeeze out all the moisture.
- Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil.
- Add the zucchini, and over high heat, brown on all sides for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Cook in two batches, adding more oil if necessary, if the zucchini pieces are too many for one pan.
- They should be softened but not mushy.
- Remove and set aside.
- Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the cooking water.
- Remove 1 cup of the pasta sauce from its pan and warm the remainder.
- Add the pasta and reserved pasta water to the sauce in the pan and toss well.
- Add the zucchini and mozzarella and stir well.
- Spoon the pasta mixture into the prepared casserole pan.
- Pour the reserved sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining bread crumbs and the Romano.
- Cover the casserole tightly with aluminum foil, and bake in the center of the oven for about 10 minutes, until warmed through.
- Remove the foil, check that the mozzarella is melted and broil for 1 to 2 minutes to crisp the top before serving.
