Each morning feels more like fall. The air is crisp, and we’re no longer leaving the windows open 24/7. My cooking is starting to change, too. I’m starting to crave soups and comfort food, and I’m looking forward to trying some new recipes this year.

There’s still time for a few more summery recipes, and this is one of them. A pasta dish that celebrates the best produce of summer, without complicating it too much. It’s also light, yet filling, and easily made vegan if you need to.

If you can’t find pappardelle pasta, just use any wide pasta, such as fettucine.

By creating zucchini ribbons instead of slicing the zucchini, you only eat the tender outer parts of the zucchini, instead of the core, which often has a mushy texture and contains the seeds. Plus, it looks pretty. Can’t argue with that.

Recipe Steps

1
Done

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook the pasta per the package instructions.

2
Done

Meanwhile, to create zucchini ribbons, trim the zucchini’s ends. Holding it in your hand, use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons, peeling lengthwise away from you. Continue peeling until you begin to see the zucchini’s seeds, or core. Rotate the zucchini to peel each side. Discard the zucchini core.

3
Done

In a large saute pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the zucchini ribbons, cherry tomatoes, snap peas and corn kernels. Cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

4
Done

Add the green onions, mint, basil, white wine, chicken stock and red wine vinegar. Reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for another 2-3 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced a bit. Season with salt and pepper and taste, adjusting the seasonings if necessary.

5
Done

Pour the vegetables and sauce over the cooked and drained pasta. Stir gently to combine.

6
Done

Garnish with Parmesan cheese.
