Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Kosher salt
1 zucchini, sliced into thin rounds
1 summer squash, sliced into thin rounds
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
1 cup arugula leaves
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving
Grilled Shrimp, recipe follows
2 large cloves of garlic, chopped
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
16 large head-on Jumbo shrimp in the shell, shells split down the back
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat for the spaghetti.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the squashes, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and oregano in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and give it all a good toss. Dump that out onto a baking sheet and roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until the squash is tender and caramelized. Scrape the vegetables into a large pasta bowl and cover with a plate to keep everything warm.
  • The pasta water should be boiling by now. Add the spaghetti and stir to separate the strands. Cook for 8 to 9 minutes, until al dente.
  • To finish, scoop out about 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, drain the pasta, and toss gently with the roasted vegetables and Grilled Shrimp. Add the pasta water if needed.
  • Heat a large outdoor grill and wipe down with oiled paper towel to create a nonstick surface. Add chopped garlic to 1/2 cup oil. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and place on grill. Baste with garlic-olive oil and grill 3 minutes each side basting as you go.

HEALTHY GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLE SPAGHETTI FOIL PACK



Healthy Grilled Summer Vegetable Spaghetti Foil Pack image

Yes, you can make one-pot pasta outdoors! In this recipe, sun-dried tomato pesto and olive oil deliver loads of flavor and whole-wheat spaghetti and veggies provide plenty of fiber. So even though it's cooked on a grill, this garden-fresh sauce tastes like it simmered on the stovetop.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium juicy tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 small Japanese eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 small zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/4 cup sundried tomato pesto
12 oil-cured olives, pitted and roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Kosher salt
1 cup dry white wine
8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti, broken into thirds
8 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 large handful fresh basil leaves, roughly torn

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat.
  • Toss together the tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, pesto, olives, garlic, olive oil, crushed red pepper and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  • Combine the wine with 2 cups water in a large measuring cup or bowl.
  • Tear four 16-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy duty foil and arrange on a work surface. Evenly divide the spaghetti among the 4 pieces of foil, placing it in the center of each piece and leaving plenty of room on the short ends. Evenly divide the vegetable mixture among the foil, spooning it on top of the spaghetti. Fold up the sides and ends of each piece of foil to make a canoe shape. Pour 3/4 cup of the wine mixture into each packet. Keeping the folded sides up, tightly crimp the edges together so the packets remain canoe-shaped. This will prevent leaking and allow for space at the top of each packet.
  • Put the packets on the grill, close the grill lid and cook 24 minutes, changing the position of the packets on the grill about halfway through. Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully open each packet. The pasta should be al dente and the vegetable mixture saucy. Stir 2 tablespoons Parmesan into each serving. Transfer the pasta and sauce to 4 serving bowls and top with the basil.

SPAGHETTI WITH GRILLED SHRIMP, ZUCCHINI AND SALSA VERDE



Spaghetti with Grilled Shrimp, Zucchini and Salsa Verde image

Summer is the perfect time for this colorful pasta -- zucchini is in abundance, and recipes that make good use of the outdoor grill are in demand. Both the squash and the shrimp here take their turn on the coals before being tossed with the spaghetti. If you crave the dish in the winter, cook the zucchini and shrimp in the broiler.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup lightly packed parsley leaves
3 tablespoons drained capers
1 clove garlic, chopped
4 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
2 zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices
1 1/4 pounds large shrimp, shelled
3/4 pound spaghetti

Steps:

  • Put the parsley, capers, garlic, lemon juice, anchovy paste, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper into a food processor or blender. Pulse just to chop, six to eight times. With the machine running, add the 1/2 cup oil in a thin stream to make a coarse puree. Leave this salsa verde in the food processor; if necessary, pulse to re-emulsify just before adding to the pasta.
  • Light the grill or heat the broiler. Brush the zucchini with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Grill or broil the zucchini, turning, until just done, about 10 minutes in all. When the slices are cool enough to handle, cut them crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces and put them in a large bowl.
  • Thread the shrimp onto skewers. Brush the shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Grill or broil the shrimp, turning, until just done, about 4 minutes in all. Remove the shrimp from the skewers, slice them in half horizontally, and add them to the zucchini.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain. Add the pasta to the grilled zucchini and shrimp and toss with the salsa verde.

WHOLE-WHEAT SPAGHETTI SALAD WITH GRILLED ZUCCHINI, KALAMATA OLIVES, AND FETA



Whole-Wheat Spaghetti Salad With Grilled Zucchini, Kalamata Olives, and Feta image

Bright and flavorful, this whole-wheat salad incorporates a slew of fresh Mediterranean ingredients. [Photograph: Jennifer Olvera] Sure, whole-wheat pasta is healthy. It's also tasty, offering a bit more "chew" than the refined-starch variety. That extra texture is a plus in this chilled salad, which mixes grilled zucchini, briny Kalamata olives, tomatoes, salty feta, and basil, all of the ingredients dressed in a simple vinaigrette. Note: Do not overcook the pasta: you want it to stand up to the vinaigrette. So, remove it from the heat when it's al dente.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the Vinaigrette:
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the Salad:
1 1/2 pounds zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/3-inch-thick slices
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound whole wheat spaghetti, cooked and cooled (see note above)
2/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, roughly chopped
6 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves
1 medium tomato, chopped

Steps:

  • 1 For the Vinaigrette: Whisk vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Reserve.
  • For the Salad: Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over entire surface of coal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover gill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate.
  • Drizzle zucchini with a little of the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper and grill until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Flip zucchini and cook until charred, about 2 minutes longer. Let cool.
  • Chop zucchini and add to a large bowl along with pasta, olives, feta, basil, and tomatoes. Add in vinaigrette, tossing, a few tablespoons at a time until well dressed. Serve immediately or at room temperature, passing more vinaigrette at the table.
