This simple (but delicious!) recipe is a perfect example of how to quickly cook a complete dish in the amount of time the pasta itself takes to boil. We'll go into some detail on how to maximize your timing efficiency and you can use these principles to make pasta preparation much quicker in future recipes!


For a lighter/vegan alternative simply omit the ricotta.

Watch the Pasta Grammar video where we make this recipe here:




Serves 2.


For this recipe, you will need:

- 2 servings farfalle pasta (we recommend about 160g)

- 2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

- 1 clove garlic, peeled

- 1 medium zucchini

- 10 ripe cherry or grape tomatoes

- 3-4 leaves fresh basil

- Salt

- Fresh black pepper

- 100g (about 1/2 cup) ricotta cheese


ree


First, put a large pot of water on to boil and cover so that it comes up to temp as quickly as possible.

While you're waiting for the water to boil, add the olive oil and peeled garlic clove into a non-stick pan and place over medium heat. While the olive oil heats up, prepare your vegetables by thinly slicing the zucchini and cutting the tomatoes in half.


ree

Once you're done cutting the veggies, the olive oil should be hot and the garlic sizzling slightly. Remove the garlic from the oil and add the zucchini slices. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper into the pan. Stir frequently.


ree


At any point, once the water comes to a rolling boil, salt it well. Don't be afraid of the salt, here! We recommend 2-3 small handfuls. Add the pasta into the water and stir a few times to prevent sticking. If timing your pasta according to the package directions, set your timer now.


ree

After the zucchini has sautéed for 1-2 minutes, the slices should begin to soften slightly. Add the tomatoes and a few torn leaves of basil. Stir all together.


ree

Continue to cook the sauce, stirring occasionally. The juices from the tomatoes should keep it well hydrated, but if it dries out too much and risks burning, ladle a small amount of pasta water into the pan as necessary.



After a few minutes, the tomatoes should soften just enough that they can be easily crushed with a fork. Do so. If the pasta still requires a little more time to finish cooking, turn off the heat beneath the sauce.


ree

When the pasta is al dente to your taste, use a slotted spoon to transfer it into the sauce. Stir all together over medium/high heat until the sauce completely coats the pasta.


ree

Once again, if the sauce seems a little too dry simply add a bit of pasta water. Alternatively, if you add too much water or the sauce seems too soupy, simply turn up the heat and stir until the excess moisture burns off.


ree

Turn off the heat and add the ricotta cheese. Stir all together until the cheese is well mixed in. Serve immediately and top with some torn basil (optional).


Buon appetito!
