Spaghetti with No-Cook Tomato Sauce is an oldie but goodie that's perfect for the hottest days of summer. When you can only bear to turn on the stove for a few minutes, you'll only need to boil the pasta. The rest happens in a food processor.

The truth is, I made "zoodles" about three times before that peeler went in to the drawer, got shoved to the back, and didn't come out again.
Turns out, it's the perfect tool for shaving down a medium zucchini so it'll cook up quickly without making a watery mess of your pizza. In celebration of actually using that damn peeler again, this week's Friday Night Slice is the Zucchini Cherry Bomb. It's vegetarian, it's sauceless and it's delicious.
Wolf declared this the best pesto he’s ever had. I laughed, made a “yeah, whatever” face and said, “You’re just hungry.”
It’s the same basil pesto I’ve been making for years and there’s nothing all that unusual about it. I don’t put pine nuts in it and I add a squeeze of lemon juice to stave off discoloration. So, why talk about it? We made a discovery the other night. The secret here is maximum pesto, minimum noodle.
