Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
- Meanwhile, working in 2 batches, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and cook, stirring, until very browned, 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
- Pulse half of the zucchini in a food processor with the pecorino, almonds and garlic until a fine paste forms. With the machine running, slowly add the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil until smooth.
- Toss the pasta with the pesto, 1/2 cup reserved cooking water and the remaining zucchini in a large bowl, adding more cooking water if needed; season with salt and pepper. Top with more toasted almonds and pecorino.
FUSILLI WITH TOMATO PESTO
This uncooked tomato pesto is a fun take on the classic pesto alla Trapanese. It uses almonds instead of pine nuts and dials the basil way back to let the fresh tomatoes shine. Crispy bacon and breadcrumbs add a salty and smokey crunch to the dish.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Toast the almonds in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until lightly browned and starting to crackle, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor; reserve the skillet. Add the basil and garlic to the food processor, season with salt and pepper and pulse until finely chopped. Add the tomatoes, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and process until mostly smooth. Transfer the pesto to a large bowl and stir in the Parmesan.
- Salt the boiling water, add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1/3 cup cooking water, then drain. Add the pasta to the bowl with the pesto and toss well to coat, adding splashes of the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the pasta cooks, cook the bacon in the reserved skillet over medium heat, stirring, until crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the panko and continue to cook, stirring, until golden and crisp, 1 more minute. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Divide the pasta among bowls. Top with the bacon-panko mixture and sprinkle with Parmesan and sliced basil.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water before draining the pasta, and don't wash the pot. Meanwhile, put the wet spinach in a large skillet over medium heat. Add a dash of salt, cover, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, but keep the lid on.
- Put the garlic, anchovies, capers, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons feta, parsley, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a blender and blend until the pesto is creamy.
- Thin the pesto with a little of the reserved pasta water to get the consistency of runny cream.
- Return the pasta to its pot; add the spinach and the pesto, stirring very well to coat the pasta.
- Stir in the 2/3 cup crumbled feta and serve.
