Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil.
- Boil a large pot of salted water, add pasta, and cook for two minutes less than package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add zucchini, yellow squash, and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the sautéed vegetables, ensuring the juices coat the pasta. Stir in half of the mozzarella and half of the parmesan.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Nestle spoonfuls of ricotta into the pasta.
- Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and parmesan on top, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
Ensure to salt your pasta water aggressively. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Reserve pasta water to adjust consistency if needed.
