With fewer ingredients and a little less dairy, this lightened-up take on a squash casserole is the dish I keep coming back to all summer long. It’s simple, easy, and comes together in just your cast-iron skillet.

That Recipe

Sizzling summer days call for refreshing meals that are bursting with flavor and easy to prepare. And what better way to satisfy those cravings than with a perfectly grilled pork chop paired with seasonal vegetables?

Grilled Pork Chops & Summer Squash: Bursting with Flavor in 30 Minutes

When the corn and zucchini are overflowing from our gardens and the farmer’s market, this simple 20-minute pasta is one of our favorite ways to enjoy the summer bounty. Lemon, basil, and Parmesan cheese (along with a splash of pasta water) bring bright flavors to the dish, while a dollop of ricotta on top adds just the right creamy texture. Feel free to use summer squash instead of zucchini and throw in a handful of cherry tomatoes if you like — this pasta will take whatever summer produce you have on hand. Serve it with crusty garlic bread, a simple green salad, and a cold glass of wine.

Summer Corn and Zucchini Pasta with Ricotta

We’ve got a variety of zucchini ideas here for your summer cooking, from appetizers, salads, and pastas to muffins and even a chocolate sheet cake. These are our favorite recipes for when the garden (or your neighbor’s) gives too many zucchini—though we think there’s no such thing as too much because it can always be put to delicious use!
