Whip up a delicious vegetarian pasta with zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and creamy ricotta.
Ingredients:
  • 500g cherry tomatoes
  • 2 zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
  • 62.50 ml fresh oregano leaves, torn
  • 56.88 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 375g dried penne pasta
  • 42.00 gm lemon juice
  • 200g fresh ricotta
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 125.00 ml finely grated parmesan (or vegetarian hard cheese)
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced) and line a baking tray with baking paper. 2. Spread tomatoes, zucchini, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of oregano on the tray, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. 3. Bake for 20 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
  • Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water according to the instructions on the packet. Reserve 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid before draining.
