Trim the ends of the zucchini and cut them lengthwise into quarters.

Place zucchini quarters cut-side up on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 tsp of kosher salt. Let zucchini sweat for 10 minutes, then blot with a clean kitchen towel to remove moisture.

Place shucked corn cobs on the same baking sheet, drizzle vegetables with 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle corn cobs lightly with kosher salt.

Preheat an outdoor gas grill to medium-high heat. Grill zucchini for roughly 1 minute per side, or until charred on all sides. Grill corn cobs, rotating often, until evenly charred. Set vegetables on a wire rack over the baking sheet to cool.

Cut grilled corn kernels off the cob and chop zucchini into 1/2-inch wide pieces.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook fusilli pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the pasta.

Transfer store-bought pesto and a splash of reserved pasta water into the empty warmed pasta pot. Add cooked pasta and toss, adding more pasta water if needed, until evenly coated with pesto.

Add grilled corn kernels, zucchini, lemon zest, and shaved pecorino cheese to the pasta. Toss gently to combine.

Season to taste with remaining kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Serve with additional shaved pecorino cheese, if desired.
