For a more intense rosemary flavor, infuse the olive oil by heating it with a sprig of rosemary before sautéing the vegetables. If mascarpone is unavailable, cream cheese can be used as a substitute. Feel free to experiment with other seasonal vegetables, such as bell peppers or yellow squash. This salad can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
