Summer Pasta with Zucchini, Ricotta and Basil
I ended up using pesto from a jar instead of making it with the basil leaves, etc. So I put the already prepped garlic in with the onion and zucchini.
Ingredients
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 pounds zucchini, sliced into ¼-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
