Add carrot, zucchini and spinach to this pasta dish loaded with mozzarella and fontina.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
One 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup fresh ricotta
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound dried medium penne
1 cup shredded carrots
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 cups baby spinach
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 cup grated ricotta salata or Parmesan
1 1/2 cups shredded Italian fontina

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add both cans of the tomatoes, the cream, and 3/4 cup of water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer rapidly, uncovered, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the ricotta and season with salt and pepper.
  • While the sauce simmers, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the carrots, zucchini and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and stir until just wilted. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Cook the penne in the salted boiling water until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions instructs. Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl with the cooked vegetables.
  • Add the tomato sauce, the mozzarella and half of the ricotta salata to the bowl and stir well to combine. Transfer the pasta-vegetable mixture to a 3- to 4-quart baking dish and top with the fontina and the remaining ricotta salata. Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes. Let the pasta rest about 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting to cook, prepare all the ingredients and utensils you will need. This will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
  • Choose fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your pasta dish the best flavor and texture. If possible, buy organic vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your pasta dish. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season to taste: Always taste your pasta dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
