Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 pound pennette (or penne, rotini, or ziti)

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 medium zucchini -- about 1/2 pound -- cut 1/4 inch

stripes

1/2 pound asparagus spears -- skinny -- bottoms discarded

cut into 3 or 4 pieces

1/4 cup virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, chopped

1/3 cup fresh chives or scallion greens

 

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the

pennette and a tablespoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until

the pasta is tender but firm, al dente, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain; rinse

under cold water. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

 

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Combine the zucchini and

asparagus in a small roasting pan. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil

and a sprinkling of salt; toss well to combine. Place on the topmost

rack in the oven; roast for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool

slightly until warm.

 

Combine the zucchini and asparagus with the pennette; toss well. In a

small bowl, mix together the remaining olive oil with the lemon juice

and parsley. Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetables; toss well.

Serve at room temperature. Add salt to taste. Garnish with chives.
