So I have been really bad about not updating this thing. So I am updating with a few new recipes (Sorry, don't have pictures for them, but will add links to where I found the original recipe).
Baked Ziti and Summer Veggies
Ingredients:
6 oz uncooked ziti
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cups chopped yellow squash
1 cup chopped zucchini
1/2 cup chopped onion (I omitted this as we are not onion eaters)
2 cups chopped tomato
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil (I used 1 Tbsp dried basil)
2 tsp chopped fresh oregano (1 tsp dried oregano)
3/4 tsp salt, divided
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper (although I think you could use a little more if you like spice)
1/4 cup ricotta cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
5 oz mild to spicy (depending on how spicy you want the dish) turkey sausage or regular sausage (to save time I used Jimmy Dean fully cooked sausage crumbles)
Cooking Spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Coat baking dish with cooking spray.
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt. Drain.
While pasta is cooking, heat large skillet over med-high heat and add oil. Add squash, zucchini and onion and saute 5 mins. Add tomato and garlic and saute for 3 mins. Remove from heat, stir in cooked pasta, 1/2 cup mozzarella, herbs, 1/2 tsp salt, crushed red pepper and sausage.
Combine ricotta, 1/4 tsp salt and egg. Stir into pasta mixture. Spoon into baking dish coated with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 mins.
This was an excellent dish and one I will most definitely make again.
