Fresh Pasta and Zucchini with Ricotta Salata

Fresh pasta cooks in less than half the time as dried pasta. Look for unflavored varieties or the spinach version in the deli section of your market. Ricotta salata is a variation of ricotta cheese that is salted, pressed, and dried. It can be sliced or grated. If it's unavailable, try feta cheese but be sure to decrease the added salt.

Tip: Salty cheese, fresh herbs, and lots of lemon add punch but don't overpower the pasta.
