PASTA RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Cook fusilli to desired doneness as directed on package. Drain; return to saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil; toss to coat.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add bell pepper and onion stir-fry; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add eggplant and zucchini; sprinkle with salt. Cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until zucchini is crisp-tender.
• Stir in beans and tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium; cook until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Stir in fusilli and 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Sprinkle with parsley and remaining 2 tablespoons cheese.

FUSILLI WITH FRESH POMODORO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta 2 minutes less than the packaging suggests, about 8 minutes. Drain well, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
• Using the large holes on a box grater, grate the flesh of the tomatoes, stopping when you are left with just the skin. Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the grated tomatoes, whole basil and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the hot oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes.
• Remove the garlic and basil stems from the pot and stir in the ricotta. Add the pasta followed by the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Stir to combine and coat everything in the sauce.
• Cook for another 2 minutes to finish cooking the pasta and thicken the sauce slightly, adding pasta water if the sauce ever looks too dry. Stir in the chopped basil and serve topped with additional ricotta and Parmigiano-Reggiano.

• Place pasta on a large platter and dollop with ricotta. Garnish with olive oil, basil and more ground pepper.
