ONE-POT ORZO WITH TOMATOES, CORN AND ZUCCHINI
This recipe is inspired by the tail end of summer, when fresh produce and herbs abound but the heat waves are finally starting to relent. And while this dish makes a wonderful stage for the season's produce at its peak, it can also turn sad-looking February vegetables into a sauce that makes it feel like summer. The trick is to sauté the tomatoes slowly, until they've collapsed and become deeply sweet and fragrant. The orzo cooks right in the sauce, which cuts down on the dishes and allows the pasta to absorb the flavor as it cooks. If you prefer a larger pasta shape, stick to the traditional method of boiling pasta for best results, and save some pasta water to help loosen the sauce.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet, for which you have a lid, set over medium. And the onions, lightly season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low, add the zucchini and garlic, and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring often.
- Add the tomatoes, basil, red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have completely collapsed, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and tomato paste and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 2 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the orzo, corn, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, mix well, and turn the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan 3 or 4 times, until the pasta is cooked. The pasta should look "saucy" as it cooks; if at any point it looks dry, add another 1/4 cup water.
- Off the heat, add the mozzarella and Parmesan and stir gently until just combined. Top with fresh basil and more red-pepper flakes if desired, and serve hot.

- Chop the zucchini and place them into a colander. Toss with salt and allow them to sit in the sink or over a bowl for about 20 minutes.
- Salting watery vegetables, draws some of the water out, to avoid your dishes from becoming too diluted, or soggy. I always salt eggplant before I cook it. This process is known as disgorging vegetables. 15 to 20 minutes of salt can make a world of difference in your dishes!
- Meanwhile, cook the orzo according to package directions in a large pot of heavily salted boiling water. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop it from cooking. Drain well, then transfer to a large bowl.
- In a large, deep pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the corn; cook until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rest of the oil, zucchini jalapeno and onion to the pan saute until tender and warmed through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
