Ziti pasta with roasted zucchini, shallots, garlic, cheese, and basil - a tasty vegetarian pasta dish.
Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 8 large shallots, sliced
  • 7 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 12 cloves garlic, halved
  • 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (16 ounce) package ziti pasta
  • 1 cup chopped fresh basil, divided
  • 0.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Coat zucchini, shallots, garlic, and crushed red pepper with 5 tablespoons of oil in a bowl. Spread mixture on baking sheets and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast vegetables in the oven until tender, turning occasionally, for about 30 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are roasting, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the ziti pasta until al dente, about 9 to 12 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking water before draining the pasta.
  • Combine the cooked pasta with 1 tablespoon of oil and place in a large pot. Mix in roasted vegetables, 1/4 cup cooking water, and another 1 tablespoon oil. Stir over medium heat until everything is warmed through. Add 3/4 cup basil and Parmesan cheese and toss. If it seems dry, add the remaining cooking water one tablespoon at a time. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the rest of the basil on top.
