Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons Sherry vinegar or white wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 1/2 pounds multicolored cherry tomatoes, halved (quartered if large)
3 ears corn, shucked
1 1/2 pounds medium zucchini
8 to 9 ounces dried egg pappardelle or dried egg fettuccine
1/4 pound sugar snap peas, strings discarded and peas halved diagonally
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)
1 cup small basil leaves, torn if large
1/2 cup mint leaves
1/3 cup snipped chives
Accompaniment: Shavings of Parmesan made with vegetable peeler
Special Equipment
A good vegetable peeler, preferably V- or U-shaped

Steps:

  • Bring a 6- to 8-quart pot of well-salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir together with vinegar, oil, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add tomatoes and stir gently, then set aside.
  • Cook corn in boiling water until tender, 4-6 minutes, then remove with tongs and cool.
  • While corn cools, peel lengthwise ribbons from 1 side of a zucchini with vegetable peeler into another bowl, stopping when you get to seedy core. Turn zucchini a quarter-turn, then peel more ribbons, stopping at core. Repeat on remaining 2 sides of zucchini (you will end up with rectangular-shaped cores). Reserve cores for another use (such as soup).
  • Cut corn from cobs; add corn to tomatoes.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Just before pasta is done, stir in zucchini ribbons and snap peas and cook 15 seconds. Drain pasta and vegetables together in a large colander and add to tomato mixture with onion (if using), then toss gently.
  • Add herbs and toss gently again.

I found that the sauce was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less olive oil next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter pepper than the recipe called for. Next time, I'll use a milder pepper.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some zucchini and tomatoes that were about to go bad, and they worked perfectly in this dish.

I wasn't sure how I would like the addition of arugula to this dish, but I was pleasantly surprised. It added a nice peppery flavor that really complemented the other ingredients.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The sweetness of the tomatoes and the bitterness of the arugula really balance each other out.

This recipe was easy to follow and turned out great! I used a store-bought pesto sauce, and it still tasted delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of pappardelle, but this dish changed my mind. The sauce was so flavorful and creamy, and the noodles were cooked just right.

This pasta dish was a hit with my family! The flavors were incredible, and the pappardelle noodles were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
