ZUCCHINI TOMATO SAUCE WITH FAT SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven or pot over medium to medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and lightly brown a few minutes. Then add the onion, garlic, chile and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper and cook 7 to 8 minutes more. Add the tomato paste and stir for 1 minute. Stir in the wine, then add the tomatoes and passata. Stir in the basil and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes more. Cool and store. Reheat over medium heat.
• To serve, bring a large pot of pasta water to a boil, salt the water and cook the pasta until al dente. (Save a cup of the starchy cooking water.) Drain the pasta and toss it with the butter, half the sauce, 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water and some cheese. Serve in shallow bowls and top with more sauce and cheese. Use more of the starchy pasta water to loosen up the pasta if it gets tight.

ZUCCHINI "FETTUCCINE" WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim and peel the zucchini, then use a mandoline or a vegetable peeler to thinly slice lengthwise into wide ribbons (stop when you get to the seeds). Cut the ribbons into 1/4-to-1/2-inch-wide strips to make them look like fettuccine. Transfer to a colander and toss with 3/4 teaspoon salt; let drain in the sink, tossing occasionally, about 30 minutes. Rinse well and pat dry.
• Meanwhile, peel the tomatoes using a sharp vegetable peeler, then halve horizontally and squeeze out the seeds. Puree 1 tomato with the olive oil, garlic, jalapeno, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a food processor or blender. Transfer to a bowl. Chop the remaining 4 tomatoes and add to the bowl; add the pine nuts, basil, oregano, and salt to taste.
• Divide the zucchini among bowls and top with the tomato sauce. Top with more pine nuts and drizzle with olive oil.
