A brilliant pasta salad recipe even mayo-haters will love!
Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the stems, seeds, and membranes. Cut each pepper lengthwise into thin strips, then cut the strips in half if they’re long.
In a large saute pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the peppers, onion, thyme, and salt and pepper, to taste. Saute for about 6 minutes, tossing often, until the peppers and onions soften. The peppers should be soft but still have a little crunch to them. Add the capers and cook for another minute, then add the vinegar and remove the pan from the heat.
Transfer the peperonata to a shallow, non-reactive dish. Add 1 cup of the halved cherry tomatoes so they can marinate along with the peppers and onions. Set the peperonata aside while you make the rest of the dish, or refrigerate until you’re ready to use . Bring to room temperature before using. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente. While the pasta cooks, season the remaining 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes with salt.
Drain the pasta and toss with the peperonata in a large bowl. Let the pasta cool until just warm, toss in the raw cherry tomatoes and their juices, the toasted nuts, and the basil--then add the mozzarella and Parmesan. For presentation, I like to add the cheese at the end so it stays white and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning and acidity, then gild the lily by drizzling more olive oil over the pasta. Serve at room temperature.

Grilled Young Carrots with Pickled Mustard Seed Dressing and Arugula Recipe on Food52When you start with freshly harvested, young carrots (preferably from your local farmer’s market) there’s no need to peel their thin skin. For a burst of color, use a variety of carrots (such as golden or red varieties), if available. Because Pickled Mustard Seeds can be prepared well in advance (you’ll love having leftovers to perk up vinaigrettes, or to toss with grilled green beans, potatoes, or roasted beets), this dish comes together quickly. You can grill the carrots up to 2 hours in advance (they’re delicious at room temperature), but for the best texture place them on the arugula and add the dressing just before serving. To add more richness, top the carrots with shaved aged cheese like ricotta salata or Parmesan.
