Instructions

  1. 1 Combine zucchini and summer squash in a bowl and sprinkle 2 tablespoons kosher salt over top; toss until everything is evenly coated. Let sit for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  2. 2 Thoroughly rinse squash with cold water to remove all salt; transfer to a colander and let drain for 15 minutes.
  3. 3 Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until browned and almost crisp, about 5 minutes.
  4. 4 While the bacon is cooking, mix eggs, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, and green onions together with a fork in a large bowl.
  5. 5 Raise the heat on the bacon to medium-high; toss in peppers and red onion plus a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until the peppers just start to soften and the onions turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add drained squash and carefully stir together; cook until squash is just barely tender, about 5 minutes.
  6. 6 Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  7. 7 Toss Cheddar cheese into the skillet and pour egg mixture over top. Stir with a spatula (like you were making scrambled eggs) until it starts to thicken up, 30 to 45 seconds. Shake the pan gently to settle the contents and turn off the heat. Push the edges down a bit with the spatula and sprinkle goat cheese over top. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  8. 8 Place under the preheated broiler until the surface is lightly browned and frittata is firm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
  9. 9 Sprinkle with more green onions and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring it onto a serving plate.

  1. 1 Fill a pot with 3 inches of water, insert a steamer basket, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low and place beets inside the steamer basket. Cover pot. Cook until beets are easily pierced with a knife, checking water level periodically, 35 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and cool, about 30 minutes.
  2. 2 Peel the beets; if you are using red and golden beets, peel the golden ones first so you don't end up turning them pink. Remove any remaining root stems. Thinly slice beets and arrange on a serving platter. I use a round plate and start in the center, alternating red and golden beet slices. Dot the top with goat cheese – you want to be able to see the beets but have enough cheese because it pairs so well with the beet. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
  3. 3 Combine rice vinegar, olive oil, mint, and sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle over beets.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Gently rinse the squash blossoms to remove any dirt or debris; remove the stamens as they are bitter and not edible.
  2. 2 Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice-cold water. Drop squash blossoms into the boiling water until slightly wilted, 30 to 45 seconds; lift with a slotted spoon and immediately place into the cold water to chill. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  3. 3 Make the filling: Mix goat cheese, Gruyère, egg yolk, pepper, and cayenne together in a bowl until smooth. Spoon into a 1-quart resealable plastic bag, squeeze out the air, and seal the bag. Cut a small corner off the bag.
  4. 4 Gently insert the cut corner of the bag into the open end of a blossom and pipe in about 1 tablespoon filling, making sure it fills all the way to the bottom. Lift petals up and drape over filling to cover completely. Fold any excess petals over the top of the filled blossom to keep them out of the way. Repeat to fill remaining blossoms. Refrigerate until cheese is set and firm, at least 30 minutes.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, make the batter: Combine flour and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Whisk in ice-cold water, a little at a time, until batter is smooth and has the thickness of pancake batter.
  6. 6 Heat 1 inch oil in a cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). A drop of batter carefully dripped into the oil should sizzle immediately.
  7. 7 Remove squash blossoms from the refrigerator and dust lightly with all-purpose flour on all sides. Shake off excess flour and dip blossoms in batter. Let excess batter drip off.
  8. 8 Gently lay about six coated squash blossoms on their sides in hot oil and cook until pale golden brown, about 1 minute on the first side and 30 seconds to 1 minute on the remaining sides.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2 Individually wrap beets, onion, and garlic in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until beets and onion are fork-tender, about 1 hour depending on size. Remove garlic once soft, after about 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, prepare the dough. Mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and mix in eggs. Gradually add water 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together, adding more water as needed depending on how dry your dough is.
  5. 5 Turn dough out onto a work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Divide dough into 4 portions, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  6. 6 For the filling: Peel beets, onion, and 3 garlic cloves (reserve remaining garlic for another use). Quarter beets and onion and transfer to a food processor with garlic. Pulse until smooth, scraping down sides as necessary. Add salt, pepper, dill, and goat cheese. Pulse several times until well combined.
  7. 7 Remove 1 piece of chilled dough from the fridge. Shape into a rough rectangle about 3x4 inches. Pass the dough through a pasta roller according to the manufacturer's instructions until dough is about 1/16-inch-thick. Cover pasta sheet with a damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out. Repeat with additional pieces of pasta dough, as needed.
  8. 8 Lay one sheet of pasta on your work surface. Scoop teaspoon-sized portions of beet filling onto dough about 3 inches apart. Lightly brush water around edges of filling. Gently place another sheet of pasta over filling. Press pieces together around filling, removing as much air as possible. Seal firmly.
  9. 9 Using a 2 1/2-inch cutter, cut ravioli from dough, ensuring filling is as centered as possible. Gently press edges again to seal. Place finished ravioli on a lightly floured baking sheet. Continue making pasta and filling raviolis until all the beet filling is used. Wrap any remaining dough and freeze for future use.
  10. 10 To serve, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently boil ravioli in batches until they rise to the top, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from water with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. 2 Drizzle olive oil over the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Pour tomatoes and their juices into the dish; cut each tomato into 3 pieces. Sprinkle in onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and 2 teaspoons oregano; stir to combine.
  3. 3 Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove dish from oven, stir briefly, return to oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes.
  4. 4 Transfer roasted tomato mixture to a saucepan; pour in water. Process mixture with an immersion blender or potato masher until desired sauce consistency is reached. Stir in 1 teaspoon oregano. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
  5. 5 Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once water is boiling, stir in ditalini and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, occasionally stirring, until pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain well and return to pot.
  6. 6 Pour tomato sauce over ditalini; stir to combine. Stir in goat cheese.

Instructions

  1. 1 Pour water into a large bowl and sprinkle yeast over top. Let stand for a few minutes to dissolve. Mix in oil, salt, and flour to make a dough. When dough is too stiff to stir, turn out onto a floured surface, and knead for about 5 minutes. Place into an oiled bowl, and cover with a clean towel. Set aside to rise for about 45 minutes.
  2. 2 Place figs into a small bowl, and pour boiling water over them. Let stand for about 10 minutes, then drain and chop. Set aside.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until they are wilted and soft. Reduce heat to low, and season with salt. Continue to cook and stir until onions are dark brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in thyme, fennel seed, and figs, and remove from the heat.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Punch down pizza dough, and stretch into a circle about 1/4-inch thick. Place on a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Brush surface lightly with remaining olive oil. Spread onion and fig mixture over crust. It will be sparse, but there is plenty of flavor. Dot with pieces of goat cheese.
  5. 5 Bake for 15 to 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until crust has turned golden brown at edges.
