PASTA WITH LEMON, HERBS AND RICOTTA SALATA
Here's a light, brothy pasta with chicken stock, lemon zest, mint and ricotta salata that Amanda Hesser brought to The Times in 2001. It's easy yet elegant; perfect for a impromptu weeknight dinner party. If you can get your hands on a Meyer lemon, do so and use that, but the recipe works just as well with a standard lemon from the corner deli.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water and add enough salt so that you can taste it. Bring to a boil. Pour the chicken broth into a small saucepan, drop in the garlic and bring to a boil. Reduce by half. Remove garlic. Shut off the heat; add the lemon zest and juice. Season to taste. It should be highly seasoned because this will be the sauce for the pasta. Keep warm. Place 4 serving bowls in a low oven.
- When the water comes to a boil, add the pasta and cook until al dente. After five minutes, ladle out about 1 cup of the cooking water and reserve. Drain the pasta, shake, then return it to the pot. Place over low heat and pour in the chicken broth. Sprinkle in the mint, marjoram and fennel and a little olive oil. Stir. The pasta should be brothy and lemony. Add some of the reserved cooking water, salt and more lemon juice, if needed.
- Spoon into bowls so that the pasta is lying in a bit of broth. Crumble the ricotta over top, sprinkle with a dash more oil and grind pepper over the top. Serve.

Steps:
- Prepare a large ice-water bath; set aside. Fill a stockpot with water; bring to a boil, and add a generous amount of salt. Add the green beans and wax beans to the boiling water, and cook just until they are crisp-tender and their color brightens, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the beans to the ice bath to stop the cooking and to preserve the color. Drain, and pat dry with paper towels. Slice the larger beans in half lengthwise. Set aside in a large bowl.
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine the shallots, capers (if using), vinegar, and a pinch of salt; let stand 15 minutes. Whisking constantly, slowly add the olive oil.
- Meanwhile, slice the peppers as thinly as possible using a sharp knife or mandoline. Add to the bowl with the beans. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, and toss to combine; season with salt and black pepper. Just before serving, tear the basil and mint leaves into small pieces, and crumble the ricotta salata. Stir the herbs and cheese into the salad.

Steps:
- Toss the sliced tomatoes and onion in a bowl with a bit of salt and set aside.
- Finely chop the herbs for the salsa verde. Pound the garlic, Dijon mustard and capers using a pestle and mortar and add to the herbs. Add seasoning and the oil. Add the vinegar, little by little, tasting as you go, until the sauce has the right amount of acidity - it needs to be punchy without losing the grassy, fresh flavour of the herbs.
- Bring a pan of water to the boil and plunge the broad beans in for a couple of mins, then drain, cool in cold water and peel away the shells.
- Divide the tomatoes and onions between plates or spread out on a platter. Dot the ricotta around and spoon over the salsa verde. Scatter with broad beans and serve.
