golden pasta for a golden time of year 🌞✨ zuc

golden pasta for a golden time of year 🌞✨ zucchini and saffron malloreddus — with nothing more than garlic and basil, olive oil & sea salt. superb for using up the last of the fresh summer squash and herbs! the trick here is twofold: first, you want to cook your zucchini for longer than seems sensible, to really coax out its capacity to melt and soften and turn almost creamy, and then, you want to finish cooking your pasta in the pan along with the zucchini for longer than you normally would finish cooking a pasta in its sauce (I didn’t time it, but I’d say roughly twice as long as usual; note that you do end up using more pasta water with this method, so go easy on the salt). the starch in the pasta water is perhaps the secret last ingredient in this simple little dish, as it works wonderfully well to tie everything together in the end — just make sure to stir, stir, stir! the end result is luscious, luxurious, and downright delicious. a perfect meal for harvest season 🍂

another simple way to savour summer’s last hurrah 💛 delicate raw zucchini ribbons — half tossed through pesto, half tossed through fresh lemon juice and olive oil & served with some really nice fresh mozz, salt, chili, pepper + basil 🍃 turns out you can use those fancy citrus zesters for more than just making fancy curls of citrus zest! put my trusty little tool to good use with this one (though a sharp knife + a bit of patience and attention works just as well)✨

slowly savouring the end of stone fruit season with fried peaches on toast 🍑✨(though plums are especially delightful this time of year!)⁣

to make the peach toast above, choose a firm yellow peach, slice it into segments, then fry it on medium-low heat in a big pat of unsalted butter, until each piece achieves a deep golden hue, its flesh gently surrendering to the tender poke of a knife’s tip. serve with thick cool yogurt, on toast or alone in a bowl, and let your mood (+ your kitchen’s contents) guide you as to how adventurous or conservative you’d like to be with your choice of sweet and/or savoury toppings. if I’d had honey, thyme or lavender, I may have snuck some into the pan along with the sizzling peaches, however, when in doubt, never underestimate the power of good ol’ olive oil, salt & pepper 😌💛
