Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips
2 medium zucchini or 1 large zucchini, cut into thin strips
2 yellow squash, cut into thin strips
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs or herbes de Provence
1 pound farfalle (bowtie pasta)
15 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
On a large heavy baking sheet, toss all of the vegetables with the oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs to coat. Transfer half of the vegetable mixture to another heavy large baking sheet and arrange evenly over the baking sheets. Bake until the carrots are tender and the vegetables begin to brown, stirring after the first 10 minutes, about 20 minutes total.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
Toss the pasta with the vegetable mixtures in a large bowl to combine. Toss with the cherry tomatoes and enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve immediately.

Yield Makes 30 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
5 slices white bread, crusts removed and torn into pieces (about 3 cups)
1 cup whole milk
1 pound ground chuck beef
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground veal
1 pound whole-milk ricotta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
1/3 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped oregano
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 quarts Basic Italian Tomato Sauce, or other Italian tomato sauce

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add onion, cooking until soft but not colored, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cool slightly.
Combine bread and milk in a bowl to soak for 5 minutes. Squeeze excess milk from bread and finely chop. Add chopped bread to the bowl with onions. Add all the remaining ingredients except the tomato sauce. Gently fold with hands to incorporate ingredients, but do not overmix or meatballs will be tough.
Bring tomato sauce to a simmer in a large deep-sided skillet. Pinch 1/4 cup of the meat mixture and gently form a ball with wet hands. Drop the meatballs, as they are formed, directly into the sauce. Cover and simmer, stirring carefully a few times until meatballs are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Serve meatballs with sauce and grated Parmesan cheese.

LIGHT PASTA PRIMAVERA

Light Pasta Primavera image

The sauce on this is not a thick alfredo-type sauce, so don't expect that. It is a light sauce with a touch of garlic. My experience is that by adding the broth, I can reduce the amount of butter in the dish by quite a lot, while still maintaining a very moist and flavorful taste. If you are inclined, you can add some diced cooked chicken or some shrimp along with the pasta in Step 7.
