Spaghetti alla Nerano
Chef John
There are no tomatoes in this dish, but no roundup of summer pasta recipes would be complete without it! Start off your meal with tomato bruschetta or serve a plate of sliced salted tomatoes alongside. "After listening to Stanley Tucci lose his mind about this pasta and calling it life-changing and one of the best things he's ever eaten, I decided I'd give it a try. The results were amazing," says Chef John. The key to getting the toasted sweet taste is to deep-fry the zucchini. It's worth the extra step.
