Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve about 1 1/4 cups cooking water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, pulse the bread in a food processor to make coarse crumbs. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toss until toasted, 4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in 1 tablespoon mint, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Wipe out the skillet and return to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the pancetta. Cook until the pancetta is crisp around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add the red onion and cook until it starts softening, about 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high, add the zucchini and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until lightly browned around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add 3/4 cup of the reserved cooking water and cook until the zucchini is tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the pasta to the skillet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil on top and toss, adding the remaining cooking water as needed to loosen. Remove the skillet from the heat; add the cheese and the remaining 1 tablespoon mint and 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Top with the seasoned breadcrumbs.
ZUCCHINI-MINT SOUP
You can also serve this soup cold or at room temperature. Puree it in batches to prevent overflow (particularly because you do so while it's hot), if needed. You can stir in a small amount of water to thin the soup after pureeing it, if you like.

ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE WITH MINT AND PARSLEY
This dish was inspired by 2 enormous zucchinis given to us by our neighbors. When split in half they were too large for my deep lasagna casserole dish! After reading several different recipes, I opted to try for a variation on my stuffed bell pepper recipe and the result was heavenly. Granddaughters 4 and 8 asked for seconds! This recipe can also be vegetarian; just omit the meat.

- Cut the zucchini into quarters lengthwise, then across into ½ - ¾-inch long chunks. If you cannot get small zucchini, try 8-10 large ones.
- Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the scallions. Sautee until they soften, then add the zucchini and a pinch of sea salt.
- Turn the heat to medium and sauté the zucchini until they have softened and have started to turn golden. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Check for seasoning and, if desired, add the lemon juice to taste. Sprinkle with the chopped mint and parsley. Cook one more minute for the flavors to blend. Serve.

- Rinse the mint leaves and pat them dry. Snip most of them into pieces, but keep a sprig intact for garnishing your dish later.
- Rise and pat dry your zucchini. Trim off the ends diagonally. Cut each zucchini in half by making a long, diagonal slice through the zucchini. (See photos in the blog post). Then, diagonally slice each half into planks about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan on high. (You need enough oil to come up 1/4 inch high in your pan.) When the oil is hot, use kitchen tongs to place some zucchini in the pan in a single layer. (You will need to fry the planks in batches.)
