    Pasta with Peas, Prosciutto, and Lettuce

    This recipe appeared in the New York Times by one of our favorite chefs, Mark Bittman. The recipe comes together in less than 30 minutes; be mindful not to overcook the lettuce so that it retains its sweetness. Try using Swiss chard (leaves only) and a leek in lieu of the shallot and lettuce. Vegetarians can omit the prosciutto. The recipe serves 4.

    Grilled Eggplant, Tomatoes, and Goat Cheese

    From the Williams-Sonoma website, here is an easy and delicious way to prepare eggplant.  Inspired by lasagna, this fresh dish takes advantage of summer’s ripe heirloom tomatoes and abundant eggplant. Cooked on the grill, it makes a great accompaniment to burgers and grilled meats at a summer cookout, but, served with herbed couscous or polenta, it also makes a great vegetarian meal.  Serves 4 (1 eggplant per person).
