Farfalle with Tomatoes and Green Vegetables

• 1 pound ripe green tomatoes, such as Green Zebra
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
• Kosher salt
• 1 pound farfalle
• 12 asparagus spears, cut into 1/2-inch lengths
• 2 cups baby spinach leaves (1 1/2 ounces)
• 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
• 2 ounces ricotta salata cheese, coarsely grated (2/3 cup)

1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil.
2. Fill a bowl with ice water.
3. Using a paring knife, core the tomatoes and make a shallow X in the bottom of each one.
4. Blanch the tomatoes in the boiling water until their skins just begin to split, about 30 seconds.
5. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatoes to the ice water to cool, then drain and peel.
6. Halve the tomatoes and discard the seeds.
7. Cut the tomato flesh into 1/2-inch dice.
8. Bring a pot or large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
9. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil.
10. Add the sliced zucchini and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, about 3 minutes.
11. Add the diced tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes.
12. Season with salt.
13. Cook the farfalle in the boiling water until al dente, adding the asparagus to the pot 1 minute before the pasta is done.
14. Drain the pasta and asparagus well, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
15. Return the pasta and asparagus to the pot.
16. Add the zucchini-tomato mixture, along with the spinach, tarragon and the reserved pasta water and season with salt.
17. Spoon the farfalle into bowls, sprinkle with the ricotta salata and serve.
