SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND BOW TIE PASTA
Anti-meat pasta dish, which makes your tastebuds feel alive with the great combined flavors of sun dried tomatoes, olive oil, red pepper and pesto sauce. My husband and I came up with this recipe about two years ago playing around in the kitchen one day. Ever since then it has been our family's favorite. Garnish each dish with red pepper or Parmesan cheese to your taste. Instead of making your own pesto you can use 1/2 bottle of pre-made pesto from the grocery store.

ONE-POT ZUCCHINI-BASIL PASTA
This no-colander-necessary, one-pot pasta method isn't a gimmick: Cooking the noodles in just enough seasoned stock means they're done in the same amount of time it takes the liquid to reduce into a concentrated, extra flavorful sauce. Mascarpone makes it silky, though crème fraîche or even softened cream cheese would be solid substitutes. While the pasta cooks, make a quick gremolata of chopped parsley, salted almonds and basil, which adds brightness and texture to the finished dish. Though this pasta comes together quickly, it requires more attention than some: Be sure to stir frequently so the noodles cook evenly, and add a splash of water toward the end of cooking, as needed, so they stay saucy.

Steps:
- In a large, deep 12-inch skillet, bring stock to a boil over high heat. Once stock boils, stir in pasta, zucchini, mascarpone, garlic and half the basil; season generously with salt and pepper and reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently, until pasta is tender and liquid is reduced until thickened and creamy, 12 to 13 minutes, adding a splash of water during the last few minutes of cooking if needed to moisten. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, prepare the gremolata: Chop almonds and parsley with remaining basil until finely chopped and combined; season with salt and pepper.
- Divide pasta among shallow bowls. Sprinkle with gremolata and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right pasta: Bow-tie pasta, also known as farfalle, is a great choice for this recipe because it holds the sauce well and is fun to eat. You could also use other short pasta shapes, such as penne or fusilli.
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: Zucchini and tomatoes are at their best in the summer, so this recipe is perfect for a summer meal. If you can't find fresh zucchini or tomatoes, you can use frozen or canned vegetables.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Season the dish to taste: This recipe is a good starting point, but you may want to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder if desired.
Conclusion:
This bow-tie pasta with zucchini, tomato, and basil is a delicious and easy-to-make summer meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch. The fresh, seasonal vegetables and flavorful sauce make this dish a hit with everyone who tries it.
