ZUCCHINI-AND-FENNEL SALAD WITH PECORINO AND MINT



Zucchini-and-Fennel Salad With Pecorino and Mint image

In 2007, if you were looking for a sign of the culinary times, you could do no better than the one prominently displayed in San Francisco, in my local Übermarket for the conscientious shopper: "Organic Summer Squash, $3.99 a pound." Our growing food fetishization created a new produce category: luxury squash. I was disturbed but also intrigued: perhaps familiarity had blinded me to squash's delicate charms - at these prices it clearly deserved more than a typically bland sauté or a quick turn on the grill. Given its etymology (the word "squash" comes from a Native American word meaning "eaten raw"), maybe it shouldn't be cooked at all. So I swallowed hard, bought some zucchini and shaved them into a salad with fennel, mint and pecorino, which made a delicious and interesting starter.

Pasta with Zucchini, Mint, and Pecorino image

Grated zucchini, anchovies, garlic, and a splash of pasta water create a summery, umami-packed sauce for gemelli. Salty Pecorino Romano and fresh mint are stirred in off the heat for even more flavor.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces short curly pasta, such as gemelli or fusilli
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 anchovy fillets, rinsed and patted dry
2 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
2 pounds zucchini (about 5 small), shredded with a box grater
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
2/3 cup finely grated pecorino Romano, plus more for serving
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves, chopped, plus more whole leaves for serving

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups water; drain pasta.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in oil. Add anchovies and garlic; cook, stirring, just until anchovies break down and garlic turns golden, about 30 seconds. Add zucchini; season with salt and pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is very tender, about 5 minutes. Add pasta and 1 cup reserved pasta water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced and slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; stir in cheese and mint. Add more pasta water if needed, a few tablespoons at a time, until sauce evenly coats pasta. Serve, drizzled with oil and sprinkled with more mint, pepper flakes, and cheese.

ZUCCHINI SALAD WITH PECORINO, BASIL AND ALMONDS



Zucchini Salad With Pecorino, Basil and Almonds image

Many recipes call for shaving raw zucchini into long strands, which looks whimsical but often leads to soggy squash. Cutting zucchini into thicker batons helps the vegetable retain some bite. Douse the strips with a bright garlic-caper vinaigrette, tender herbs and tangy pecorino, and just before serving, toss in some chopped almonds for crunch. This zucchini salad makes a great starter or a side, but it can also be the foundation of a meal: Add it to cooked penne or pearl couscous for a quick pasta salad, or scatter it over a slice of grilled bread that's been slathered with mascarpone or ricotta.

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons capers, chopped, plus 2 teaspoons caper brine
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 medium zucchini or summer squash (6 to 7 ounces each)
1/3 cup shaved Pecorino-Romano cheese
1/4 cup torn fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/3 cup roasted salted almonds, chopped

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the oil, shallot, capers, caper brine, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Trim the ends of the zucchini and cut each squash into 2-inch segments. Slice the segments lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slabs, then slice those slabs lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick batons. Add to a large bowl.
  • Just before serving, season the zucchini with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Stir in the cheese, herbs and dressing and season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the almonds and serve immediately.
