Baked pasta and veggies
I love those ridiculously simple foods that always somehow turn out being more than the sum of their parts. To me, baked pasta dishes are included in this category.
Tonight, I wasn’t in the mood for meat. (Don’t get me wrong, I love meat, but I don’t eat it at every meal.) I made some baked rigatoni with a bunch of vegetables, and topped with a ton of cheese. Simple, easy to fix, delicious, and filling.
Ingredients
- 1 lb box of tube-shaped pasta (rigatoni, penne, macaroni, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 pound baby cut carrots, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 zucchinis, halved and sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (I LOVE garlic. Use less, or none, if you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons dried sweet basil (or several fresh basil leaves, chopped)
- 1 – 26.5 ounce can or 1 jar of plain pasta sauce (I use a can of Hunt’s “Traditional” – It’s usually on sale for a dollar or two, and with all the added extras, there isn’t a noticeable difference from more expensive varieties)
- 2 cups shredded cheese (I used Tillamook “Italian” blend, which has mozzarella, smoked provalone and parmesan, which is fantastic, and was on sale – Usually I just use a cup and a half of mozzarella and half a cup of parmesan)
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions, minus a minute or so. Drain and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
In the now empty pasta pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions with a little salt and saute until just starting to soften. Add the carrots and bell pepper and continue to cook until they just start to soften. Add the garlic and zucchini, again cooking until they start to soften. The idea is to get the veggies about half as done as you’d like them to be when serving. Just as everything is about done, add half the basil and crack in some black pepper.
Dump in the pasta sauce and stir well. Let everything cook together for a few minutes. Remove from heat, add in the pasta. Stir well, making sure your pasta is thoroughly coated with sauce, inside and out.
Pour the pasta into a greased 9″ x 13″ baking dish and spread evenly. Everything should just fit. Spread the cheese over the top. Sprinkle the remaining basil on top.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for half an hour. Let stand for 5 minutes or so before serving.
YUM.
