Farmers’ Market Garden Bake

This summer vegetable baked pasta is packed with summer vegetables that overflow from your garden like zucchini, squash, tomatoes, and asparagus. A creamy sauce brings it together with whole wheat pasta. 

Foodblog (4 of 8)

Brooke, the blogger behind the site Skinny Mom and BrookeGriffin.com, asked if I’d like to test out her new cookbook: Skinny Suppers: 125 Lightened-Up, Healthier Meals for Your Family, which just came out a month ago. Always in need of some kitchen inspiration, I happily accepted! Having someone else design the recipes is kind of like having someone else cook for you : ) The book is packed with 125 family-friendly recipes that are designed to be both easy and light on the waistline.

Calling all gardeners: Summer Vegetable Baked Pasta

I couldn’t wait to make this Farmers’ Market Garden Bake, as I love a good one-dish meal. This summer vegetable baked pasta is packed with fresh vegetables! I want to make this again when I can get all of my veggies from the Charlottesville area.

Foodblog (1 of 8)

Brooke calls this recipe a “garden of goodness,” and it surely is. This recipes includes pasta and cheese plus an abundance of vegetables: asparagus, squash, peppers and tomato.

Foodblog (2 of 8)

The sauce = heaven

I LOVED the sauce made with sherry and ricotta, plus a sprinkle of lemon zest.

Foodblog (3 of 8)

The method was easy: cook pasta, cook veggies, make sauce, toss, and bake with cheese on top!

The end result was soooo good! I’ll be eating this for days : )

Foodblog (8 of 8)

A few notes from my version:

  • I used shells instead of farfalle because that’s what I had.
  • Naturally, I omitted the onions : )
  • I used full-fat ricotta and cheese, because….yum.

Here’s the official recipe!

Farmers' Market Garden Bake

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes minutes
Total Time 30 minutes minutes
Servings 6
Author Kath Younger

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces high-protein farfalle pasta or shells in my case!
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 small yellow squash diced
  • 1 small zucchini diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 pound asparagus cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup frozen pearl onions
  • 1 to mato diced
  • For the sauce
  • 1/4 cup cooking sherry or low-sodium veggie broth
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dired oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water, drain pasta and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the garlic, squash, zucchini, bell pepper, asparagus, and onions and saute for 5 minutes. Add the tomato and saute for an additional 2 minutes, until the veggies have softened.
  • Remove the vegetables from the heat and fold in the cooked pasta.
  • To make the sauce: In a small saucepan, bring the sherry to a simmer over medium heat. Add the reserved 1/2 cup pasta water and the ricotta and whisk for 2 minutes to incorporate. Season with the lemon zest, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup of the mozzarella and stir until melted, about 2 minutes. Carefully transfer the sauce to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce over the pasta and vegetables. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
  • Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 15-20 minutes.

      Interesting article Elise! Milk fat contains also Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA; type of fatty acid), known for health benefits with respect to cardiovascular system, cancer, obesity, osteoporosis and the immune system. From another side there is loads of new research on milk protein, saying that there is a strong connection between milk consumption and exacerbation in autoimmune diseases. There is no such thing like one eating pattern that would fit all.

    I love goulash minus the meat. We had a huge garden growing up and canned all of our veggies. Our version of goulash was to grab a jar of every single vegetable we had, add diced potatoes, a little elbow macaroni, a pound of hamburger and cook it in an electric skillet with stewed tomatoes for hours.

    My favorite casserole is a cheesy baked chicken spaghetti that is to die for and great for company also.
    We just indulged on a kitchen full of fresh veggies last evening and can not wait to make this recipe tonight.
    It will be a keeper I can tell already. To win the cookbook would be heavenly and of so much use. Good luck to all the entries and thank you for your blog and all these wonderful ideas and recipes!!!

    My mom’s chicken, rice, and broccoli casserole. This one looks great, and we’re trying to incorporate more vegetarian meals.

    There’s just something about a broccoli, rice, and cheese casserole that can’t be beat.

    I don’t make too many casseroles because it tends to be too much food (since I;m cooking for one) but when I’m home I love my grandma’s lasagna!

    I love casseroles, but tend to shy away from them because they’re typically not real healthy…but I love a good lasagna…does that count?

    I have lots of favorite casserole recipes because, as a child of the 80s, that’s what I grew up eating! I do especially enjoy one I’ve made for a few years that has frozen broccoli, turkey Italian sausage, rotini pasta and Parmesan cheese.

    My favorite casserole actually consists of leftover Thanksgiving dinner: turkey, stuffing and gravy mixed with egg noodles and browned on topped with bread crumbs. and butter. Not the healthiest, but it emotionally his the spot!

    The recipe looks like it tastes great, and I’m saying that with (a healthy amount of) longing due to celiac disease and nightshade allergy. However, I’m really against the message her whole brand is sending that skinny is synonymous with healthy and better.

    This is an older post, but since no one actially commented on this specific recipe, I’m going to leave a comment to help the next momma who stumbles upon this recipe and wonders how it actually turned out. Loved it! I have a kiddo with a severe dairy allergy, so I subbed the ricotta and mozzerarella with vegan versions of both. I also used the farfelle noodles and onion. I added 2lbs of shredded chicken breasts, but it didn’t need it. It was delicious before I added the chicken. Great meal to get the kids involved prepping and cooking, my little chef enjoyed preparing this with me. It was a huge hit with all of my picky men (ages 6-40) who normally turn up their noses at squash and zucchini. It reheated well the next day and was requested for lunch by my 6 yr old. If made with actual dairy cheeses, I suspect the recipe is heavenly. Definitely a comfort food but with a healthy twist. Thank you for sharing it!
