Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Kosher salt, to taste
12 ounces whole wheat penne pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch asparagus, cut into bite-size pieces
1 medium zucchini, cut into bite-size chunks
Black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups torn fresh kale
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup prepared pesto
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cook the pasta until al dente, according to package guidelines. Drain, reserving a 1/4 cup of the pasta water (plus a little more). Set the pasta and pasta water aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic and stir. Add the asparagus and zucchini and sprinkle with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, to soften the vegetables, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the white wine, scrape up the bottom of the pan and let the wine cook down. Add the kale, peas, ricotta cheese, pesto and the reserved 1/4 cup pasta water and bring to a boil, cook for 1 minute. Add the drained pasta and mix thoroughly. Use more pasta water as needed if the sauce is too thick.
  • Transfer the pasta mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, crushed red pepper flakes and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a medium bowl and mix until well combined.
  • Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the pasta, then bake until the breadcrumbs are golden, and the sauce is bubbly, 15 to 17 minutes.
  • Remove and garnish with fresh parsley.

TODDLER VEGGIE PACKED PASTA



Toddler Veggie Packed Pasta image

If you have a picky toddler, you know how difficult lunch options can be! I decided to whip this up with what I had on hand. You could omit or add items as you please....I like the veggie/calcium combo! Alphabet pasta is also a good alternative for babies Store the leftovers for two days and serve as a side or meal!

12 VEGGIE PACKED PASTA RECIPES FOR PICKY EATERS

From mylovelylittlelunchbox.com
Estimated Reading Time 8 mins
  • Stealth spaghetti. This recipe sneaks in an entire sweet potato, carrot AND zucchini into the spaghetti sauce. The grated veggies are sautéed first until tender then smothered in beautiful tomato passata.
  • kale pesto spaghetti. Two secrets to getting your kids to love pesto? First, get them involved in making it – they love love love picking the herbs and pressing the processor buttons.
  • veggie loaded spaghetti bolognese. Along with the usual bolognese suspects – this sauce also sneaks in an onion, sweet potato, zucchini and carrot. Again the veggies are grated so they are wonderfully disguised amongst the sauce.
  • roast cauliflower orecchiette with crispy herb and parmesan crumbs. The hero of this dish is the herb and parmesan spiked golden sour dough crumbs strewn through-out.
  • pasta with broccoli pesto. Gorgeously green casarecce pasta smothered in a zesty homemade broccoli pesto, this pasta is perfection for picky eaters. Whizzing broccoli into a pesto is your chance to get your fussy eater consuming more veggies or even just trying them in a different way.
  • easy peasy pasta salad. So clearly there is no hiding the tomatoes and salad leaves here BUT this recipe is still a great chance to expose your fussy eater to some veggies.
  • kale, broccoli & cherry tomato penne. Adding crunch to the veggies is our secret weapon in this recipe. Roasting the kale, broccoli, fennel and cherry tomatoes adds crunch [and sweetness] kids love.
  • ravioli with pumpkin pesto & pistachio. Harry calls this recipe ‘pasta pillows’ and I can see why. The plump pillows of ravioli are not only adorable but are so much fun for little hands.
  • pesto prawn spaghetti with oven roasted truss tomatoes. If your fussy eater doesn’t love cherry tomatoes – try roasting them. The time in the oven heightens their natural sweetness – so much so even Harry likes them.
  • wholemeal spaghetti w’ roast capsicum pesto & crispy chorizo. This recipe offers you a chance to introduce roasted capsicum to your picky eater in a form they’re more familiar with, pesto and spaghetti.
