3 carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips
2 medium zucchini or 1 large zucchini, cut into thin strips
2 yellow squash, cut into thin strips
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs or herbes de Provence
1 pound farfalle (bowtie pasta)
15 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Transfer half of the vegetable mixture to another heavy large baking sheet and arrange evenly over the baking sheets. Bake until the carrots are tender and the vegetables begin to brown, stirring after the first 10 minutes, about 20 minutes total.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
1 cup bite-size broccoli pieces
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
2 tablespoons butter
4 ounces white mushrooms, washed and sliced
2 medium zucchini, sliced diagonally
1 medium summer squash, sliced diagonally
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 large onion, diced
1/2 cup chicken broth, plus more as needed
1/4 cup white wine (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup frozen peas
12 fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for serving
1 pound pasta (fettuccini), cooked according to package directions

Steps:

  • For the vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook for 1 minute. Then add the broccoli; cook for another minute. Add the red peppers; cook 1 minute more. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
  • To the skillet, add the butter and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; allow to heat up. Add the mushrooms, zucchini and squash, and cook until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and add them to the other vegetables. Set aside.
  • For the sauce: Add the garlic and onions to the skillet, and cook until starting to turn translucent, about 2 minutes.
  • Next, pour in the chicken broth and wine; stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen all the flavorful bits. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until reduced by about half. Stir in the cream and Parmesan, and allow the cheese to melt. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Add the cooked vegetables to the sauce, along with the peas and basil; stir to combine. If the sauce needs a little more liquid, splash in a small amount of broth. Place the cooked pasta in a large serving bowl and pour all the contents of the skillet over the pasta; toss to combine. Sprinkle with extra basil, and serve with extra Parmesan.

Tips:

  • To make a creamy, flavorful sauce, sauté onion, garlic, and mushrooms in butter until softened, then stir in flour, chicken or vegetable broth, heavy cream, white wine, and Parmesan cheese.
  • For perfectly cooked ravioli, boil them in salted water until they float to the top, then drain and rinse them with cold water.
  • When layering the ravioli and sauce in the baking dish, start with a layer of sauce, then a layer of ravioli, and repeat until all the ingredients are used up.
  • Bake the ravioli bake in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the sauce is heated through.
  • Garnish the ravioli bake with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, before serving.

Conclusion:

Primavera ravioli bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
