Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen Roasted sweet summer corn and zucchini make a super summery and delicious topping for prepared ravioli.

Ingredients

1 lemon
4 small zucchini
3 clove garlic
2 tbsp. olive oil
kosher salt
Pepper
1 oz. Parmesan
1 c. fresh corn kernels
1 lb. fresh cheese ravioli
Torn fresh basil leaves

Instructions

Heat oven to 450 degrees F and bring a large pot of water to a boil. Using a vegetable peeler, remove 3 strips of zest from the lemon; thinly slice the zest.
In a large bowl, toss together the zucchini, garlic, and lemon zest with the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Fold in the Parmesan. Transfer the mixture to a large rimmed baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Roast (without stirring) for 14 minutes.
Scatter the corn over the zucchini and toss to combine. Roast until the zucchini is golden brown and tender, 3 minutes more.
