Farmers' Market Pappardelle

Ingredients for Farmers' Market Pappardelle

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 45ml Sherry vinegar or white wine vinegar

• 80ml extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

• 675g multicolored cherry tomatoes, halved (quartered if large)

• 3 ears corn, shucked

• 675g medium courgette

• 8 to 250g dried egg pappardelle or dried egg fettuccine

• 110g sugar snap peas, strings discarded and peas halved diagonally

• 80g thinly sliced red onion (optional)

• 1 cup small basil leaves, torn if large

• 1/2 cup mint leaves

• 1/3 cup snipped chives

• Accompaniment: Shavings of Parmesan made with vegetable peeler

• A good vegetable peeler, preferably V- or U-shaped

Bring a 6- to 8-quart pot of well-salted water to a boil.

Meanwhile, mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoons salt, then stir together with vinegar, oil, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add tomatoes and stir gently, then set aside.

Cook corn in boiling water until tender, 4-6 minutes, then remove with tongs and cool.

While corn cools, peel lengthwise ribbons from 1 side of a courgette with vegetable peeler into another bowl, stopping when you get to seedy core. Turn courgette a quarter-turn, then peel more ribbons, stopping at core. Repeat on remaining 2 sides of courgette (you will end up with rectangular-shaped cores). Reserve cores for another use (such as soup).

Cut corn from cobs; add corn to tomatoes.

Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Just before pasta is done, stir in courgette ribbons and snap peas and cook 15 seconds. Drain pasta and vegetables together in a large colander and add to tomato mixture with onion (if using), then toss gently.

Add herbs and toss gently again.
