Time 55m

Yield 1 casserole, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 lb penne
6 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
2 ears corn
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
8 zucchini, about 2 lb. total, cut into half-moons
1/2 yellow onion, diced
4 tomatoes, cored, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon sliced garlic
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
2 ounces parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400ºF.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Generously salt the water, add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold running water. Set aside.
  • In a 12-inch nonstick fry pan over medium-high heat, warm 3 Tbs. of the olive oil. Add the corn, season with salt and black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is lightly golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat and warm the remaining 3 Tbs. olive oil. Working in batches, add the zucchini, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add to the bowl with the corn. Repeat with the remaining zucchini, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
  • Set the pan over medium-low heat. Add the onion, 1 teaspoons salt and black pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and begin to form a sauce, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until the wine has reduced and the sauce is fairly thick, about 3 minutes more.
  • Add the pasta, tomato sauce, basil, mozzarella and half of the Parmigiano-Reggiano to the bowl with the vegetables and stir to combine. Transfer to the fry pan and sprinkle the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano on top. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm. Serves 8.

I'm not usually a fan of zucchini, but this pasta bake changed my mind! The zucchini was cooked perfectly and it added a nice sweetness to the dish.

This pasta bake was a disappointment. The instructions were unclear and the end result was a mushy mess.

I wasn't a big fan of this pasta bake. The zucchini and corn were not cooked through and the cheese topping was too thick and gooey.

This pasta bake was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the vegetables were not very flavorful.

I tried this recipe last night and it turned out great! I used whole wheat pasta and added some spinach for extra veggies. It was a delicious and healthy meal that the whole family enjoyed.
