16 ounces fresh ricotta 3 tablespoons good-quality extra-virgin olive oil juice of one lemon 1 tablespoon lemon zest 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper 10 large leaves fresh basil, rinsed, patted dry and chiffonaded 4 large ripe summer squash, trimmed and sliced into 1 1/2-inch rounds Directions 1. In a large bowl, combine ricotta, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper and basil. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. 2. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add the squash without overcrowding the pan and cook in batches, flipping after about 3 minutes, until both sides are golden brown and squash is just cooked through. Don't overcook or you'll end up with soggy sandwiches. 3. Remove from pan and transfer to a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Allow to cool to at least room temperature. You shouldn't feel any heat or see steam rising from them. If they are too warm, the ricotta stuffing will melt. 4. Make your "oreos" by placing the ricotta mixture on top of one squash round and topping with another squash rouund. 5. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Ingredients

Sautéed bok choy is an easy to make and flavorful side dish. It's a 5-ingredient recipe that is made in under 10 minutes.
Ingredients 1 pound baby bok choy 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 garlic cloves, minced Pinch crushed red pepper flakes Sea salt Half of a lemon, cut into wedges Directions 1. Remove any discolored outer stalks of the bok choy and discard them (or save for stock later). Place the bok choy into a colander and rinse with cool water, rubbing any grit or dirt from between the leaves. 2. Trim the ends then slice each bok choy in half lengthwise. Or if they are large, cut into quarters. Pat dry.Add the oil, garlic and red pepper flakes to a wide room-temperature skillet. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil begins to bubble around the garlic, but before the garlic starts to turn light brown. 3. Toss in the boy choy and spread into one layer. Sprinkle with about 1/4 teaspoon of salt then cook, without stirring, until the bottom is starting to turn brown, about 2 minutes. 4. Flip then cook another 2 minutes or until the green leaves have wilted and the white bottoms are beginning to soften, but still have some crunch. 5. Transfer to a platter then squeeze 2 lemon wedges on top. A teaspoon or so of olive oil is nice, too. Serve with more lemon wedges on the side. This recipe is adapted from a Bobby Flay original.
