SUMMER VEGETABLES WITH LINGUINE
I'm not sure where I originally got this recipe. I've been making it for years and it is wonderful as a side to grilled chicken or salmon. It also makes a wonderful meatless main dish. I use the spinach and regular linguine mixed together. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Preheat a grill to medium high. Put the tomatoes in a large heatproof bowl; add a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Warm the olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until the garlic softens but does not brown, 5 minutes. Pour the garlic oil over the tomatoes; toss.
- Lightly brush the bell pepper and carrot halves with olive oil. Grill, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender and well marked, about 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board; chop the pepper and thinly slice the carrots. Add to the tomatoes and toss.
- Add the pasta and a few big pinches of salt to the boiling water and cook as the label directs for al dente, adding the broccoli in the last 2 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain. Add the pasta to the vegetables, along with 2 tablespoons of the cooking water; toss to coat, gradually adding more cooking water as needed if the pasta seems dry. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the basil and chives to the pasta and toss again. Divide among bowls and top with the ricotta salata.

- In a saucepan of boiling water boil the fava beans for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain the beans, let them cool until they can be handled, and peel off and discard the tough outer skins. In a steamer set over boiling water steam the zucchini, covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until it is just tender. In a large bowl combine the beans, the zucchini, the tomatoes, the onion, drained well if soaked, the garlic, the bell pepper, the parsley, the oil, and salt and black pepper to taste and toss the mixture until it is combined well. In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the gemellini until it is al dente, drain it, and while it is still hot add it to the vegetable mixture, tossing the mixture until it is combined well. Serve the pasta warm or at room temperature with the Parmesan.
