Vegetarian Baked Ziti

lb. ziti pasta

olive oil

onion,

garlic,

tomato paste

oregano

tomatoes

c. fresh ricotta

spinach,

lemon

red pepper flakes

Kosher salt

black pepper

basil,

c. grated Parmesan

c. mozzarella

It’s really good but I definitely had to tweak it a lot. The sauce is really bland so I added some wine (actually the husband did haha) and a lot more seasoning. I also sautéd the spinach and let it cool before adding it to the ricotta. I would definitely make it again but with the tweaks again.

My modifications/additions:
-6 garlic cloves
-2 zucchini, sliced thick and in half
-1 orange bell pepper, chopped
-1 can garbanzo beans
-entire small ricotta container
-entire bag mozzarella
-3tbsp tomato paste
-extra can diced tomatoes
-extra seasoning to make up for extra vegetables

It was delicious and fairly healthy for a pasta dinner. The whole family enjoyed!

Definitely had to tweak the recipe to add more seasoning and added more mozzarella.Other than that followed the recipe.  Came out delicious. My picky kids loved it

Great recipe! I made it without the lemon and with half they amount of dried basil and it was still excellent.

Cheesy Baked Penne with Roasted Veggies

olive oil spray

red bell pepper

(8-ounce

(8 oz fennel bulb, ends removed and

asparagus

onion

garlic (peeled and slightly smashed)

tbsp balsamic vinegar

salt

basil

oz Delallo Gluten-Free Penne

oz part-skim ricotta

parsley

Pecorino Romano

oz part-skim mozzarella (shredded)

25.25 oz jar marinara sauce (we love Delallo Pomodoro)

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Spray a large baking sheet with oil, toss the peppers, zucchini, fennel, asparagus, red onion and garlic with balsamic, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and dried herbs. Roast until tender on the lower rack of the oven, about 15 to 20 minutes stirring halfway,  until slightly browned tender.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions for al dente, (undercooking slightly as it will continue cooking in the oven), drain.

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, parsley, 6 tablespoons of the Pecorino Romano cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese.

Spray a deep 13x9-inch baking dish with olive oil spray.

Put half of the cooked roasted vegetables into the prepared baking dish, then half of the pasta and top with 1 cup of the sauce. Spoon the ricotta mixture on top of the sauce in an even layer. Cover with the remaining pasta, then vegetables, then the remaining sauce. Finish with the remaining mozzarella and 2 tbsp Pecorino Romano cheese.

Cover with foil and bake in the center of the oven for 25 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted.
