Ingredients:

Serving

2 lb small zucchini, trimmed , halved lengthwise
extra-virgin olive oil (for brushing )
coarse kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
2 pinches of dried crushed red pepper
1 lb penne or ziti pasta
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup crumbled ricotta salata (salted dry ricotta cheese; about 3 oz)

Directions:

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Arrange zucchini on rimmed baking sheet; brush all over with oil. Sprinkle with coarse salt and black pepper. Grill zucchini until tender, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to work surface; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Place in large serving bowl. Add vinegar, mint, and crushed red pepper; set aside.
Cook pasta in boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Add pasta to zucchini mixture, then add 3 tablespoons olive oil and ricotta salata and toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
