It's a perfect match for cheese tortellini, but you can use other tortellini such as mushroom or meat instead. The pesto is also great with just about any plain pasta. Recipe Christina Holmes  Spicy Tonnarelli with Clams Recipe John Kernick  Fresh Chile Puttanesca Top Chef finalist Sarah Grueneberg adds green olives, almonds and fresh chile to her bright, delicious puttanesca. Recipe Christina Holmes  Angel Hair with Green and Yellow Tomato Sauce Jere and Emilee Gettle love the Green Zebra tomato, which is as sweet as red ones but with a citrusy tang. They toss it with yellow tomatoes for a colorful, uncooked pasta sauce. Recipe Kana Okada  Spaghettini with Shrimp, Tomatoes and Chile Crumbs Dan Kluger adds crunch to this delicious shrimp and summer tomato pasta with crisp lemon-chile crumbs. Recipe Con Poulos  Fusili with Summer Tomato Sauce For this light, uncooked sauce, you must have perfectly ripe tomatoes. Be sure they're at room temperature, too, not cold. In fact, tomatoes shouldn't be refrigerated at all; chilling permanently reduces their flavor. Recipe William Meppem  Spinach Fettuccine with Tangy Grilled Summer Squash At her restaurant, Amanda Cohen tosses herb fettuccine with pickled squash blossoms and grilled zucchini. This simplified recipe features squash that's pickled and then grilled, plus freshly sautéed squash. Recipe Con Poulos  Antipasto Pasta This hearty, fast and easy pasta is a terrific combination of spicy, salty, sweet and briny flavors. Recipe Chris Court  Sauce-Simmered Spaghetti al Pomodoro Top Chef finalist Sarah Grueneberg cooks parboiled spaghetti right in the tomato sauce so it becomes infused with flavor. Recipe Christina Holmes  Fried-Zucchini Spaghetti This pasta is an ode to the mountains of fried zucchini Gwyneth Paltrow ate at Elio's, an Italian restaurant on Manhattan's Upper East Side, growing up. Here, she adds the crispy zucchini slices to spaghetti that's tossed with shredded Parmesan cheese (which adds texture to the dish) and plenty of olive oil and basil.
