Kick back with vegetable-packed spring supper.
Ingredients:

* Salt and pepper
* 12 ounces long, wide pasta, such as pappardelle or fettuccine
* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
* 1 pound ground lamb
* 1 pint cherry tomatoes
* 1 large shallot, chopped
* 2 to 3 large cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
* 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
* 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
* 1/3 pound ricotta salata cheese or feta cheese, crumbled

Directions:

1.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the pasta and
cook until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 ladleful of pasta cooking
water.
2.

While the pasta is working, in a large skillet, heat the EVOO, 2
turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and cook,
crumbling it, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and
cook, tossing, until they burst, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shallot and
garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook until softened, 3 to 4
minutes.
3.

Stir the reserved pasta cooking water into the lamb ragu. Add
the pasta, mint and parsley and toss. Top the pasta with the cheese.
