Provided by Ellie Krieger

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings, serving size: 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound whole-wheat fettuccini
2 medium green zucchini (about 1 pound)
2 medium yellow zucchini (about 1 pound)
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup grated (1-ounce) Parmesan (lightly packed), plus 2 tablespoons
1/3 cup finely minced parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
1 cup thinly sliced basil leaves, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Salt

Steps:

  • In a large pasta pot, cook pasta "al dente", 1 or 2 minutes less than the package instructions call for. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, slice off ends of zucchini and discard. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Using a mandoline, or carefully with a sharp knife, slice zucchini into very thin (about 1/8-inch) slices, trying to keep some skin on each piece for color. Stack slices and cut in half lengthwise. Reserve zucchini ribbons in a large bowl.
  • In the pasta pot, heat the olive oil over low-medium heat. Add garlic and cook until soft and translucent but not browned, about 1 minute. Add zucchini ribbons and 1/4 cup chicken broth, raise heat to medium-high and cook until zucchini is still somewhat firm but just cooked, about 3 minutes. Return pasta to pot and add remaining chicken stock; cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until liquid has mostly absorbed into the pasta. Add 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, parsley, basil, red pepper flakes, black pepper and toss to combine. Season with salt, to taste. Serve garnished with additional parsley, basil and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cheese.

Spaghetti With Peas, Zucchini Ribbons, and Garlic Shrimp image

This is a combination of 2 recipes from the April 2007 issue of Martha Stewart Living. Each can certainly stand on its own, but together, they are a fabulous meal. Add a salad, possibly some crusty garlicky bread, and dessert and it would be complete, company worthy meal that is actually very, very simple.

Categories     Pasta     Low Fat     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Lunch     Healthy     Low Cholesterol     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 ounces pancetta, diced
1 cup chopped scallions
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound linguine
1 cup frozen peas
2 medium zucchini, peeled into ribbons (see headnote)
Kosher salt
Crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 cup freshly grated Grana Padano

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for pasta. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the pancetta and cook until the fat is rendered, about 4 minutes. Add the scallions and garlic and cook until the scallions are wilted, about 3 minutes.
  • 2. Add the linguine to the boiling water. Once the pasta is cooking, add the peas and zucchini to the skillet and season with salt and red pepper flakes. Toss until the zucchini begin to wilt, about 2 minutes. Ladle in 1 cup pasta water and simmer and reduce by half while the pasta cooks.
  • 3. When the pasta is al dente, remove it with a spider or small strainer and add directly to the sauce, along with the basil and parsley, reserving the pasta water. Toss to coat the pasta with the sauce, adding a splash of pasta water if the pasta seems dry. Remove the skillet from the heat, sprinkle with the grated Grana Padano, toss, and serve.

Ricotta and Zucchini Cannelloni image

This simple weeknight dish relies on zucchini ribbons instead of noodles and a zippy ricotta-pea filling for a gluten-free take on the traditional baked pasta.

Categories     HarperCollins     HarperCollins     Dinner     Small Plates     Kid-Friendly     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Pasta     Zucchini     Ricotta     Bake     Spinach     Tomato     Vegetarian     Mozzarella

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups (180g) frozen peas (easy peasy!)
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups (360g) fresh firm ricotta
2 cups (50g) baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped mint
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind (a tasty trick)
Sea salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
3-4 zucchinis (courgettes), thinly sliced lengthways using a mandolin (you'll need about 24 long slices)
2 cups (500ml) tomato puree (passata)
1/2 cup (50g) grated mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Place the peas in a colander and rinse them under hot running water to thaw. Drain well and place in a big bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, roughly mash the peas. Crack the eggs on top and add the ricotta, spinach, mint, lemon rind, salt and pepper. Mix well with a spatula.
  • Place 1 heaped tablespoon of the pea mixture at one end of each slice of zucchini. Roll up the slices to enclose the filling.
  • Pour the puree into a 22cm x 30cm (2-litre-capacity) baking dish. Nestle the zucchini rolls into the dish so they fit snugly. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and bake for 30 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Wear your oven gloves to take the dish from the oven and allow to cool a little, before spooning onto serving plates.
