I have a taste for Italian this weekend, so I surfed up this healthy little baked Ziti Recipe from www.drgourmet.com. 444 Calories isn’t the greatest but what else would you expect from a recipe primarily of cheese and pasta.
Baked Ziti
Servings = 6 | Serving size =2 and 2/3 ounces pasta
Cooking Time = 60 Minutes
This recipe can be multiplied by 2, 3.
Leftovers are great! They can be divided and placed in ziplock bags and frozen.
Use whole wheat pasta for an even healthier dish. Whole grains are great for you and whole wheat pasta is an easy way to eat more in your diet.
If you wish, you can make your own tomato sauce for this recipe.
1 medium yellow bell pepper 1 medium red bell pepper 1/2 lb crimini mushrooms (halved) 1 cup small shallots (peeled) 1 lb ziti 5 quarts water 3 cups tomato sauce 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves 1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano (grated) pepper to taste 3 ounces fontina cheese (shredded) Preheat the oven to 375°F. Peel and seed the peppers; then cut into 1 inch squares. Place the mushrooms, shallots and peppers in a roasting pan and spray lightly with olive oil.
Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables until slightly soft (about 15 – 20 minutes).
While the vegetables are roasting, bring 5 quarts of water to a boil and add the ziti. Cook until slightly underdone (about 12 – 15 minutes). Drain.
Prepare a 12” oblong pan (pyrex is a good choice) by lightly spraying the inside with olive oil. Set aside. (Lining the pan with Release non-stick foil works as well).
Place the tomato sauce, rosemary leaves, thyme, parmesan, and pepper in a glass or stainless steel bowl. Stir well and add the ziti. Toss the pasta to coat well.
Add the vegetables and gently fold together until well blended. Pour the ingredients into the prepared oblong pan.
Sprinkle the grated fontina cheese over the top.
Bake at 375°F for 15 – 20 minutes until the top is slightly browned.
