with Zucchini, Tuscan Herbs, and Marinara Sauce

By Recipe0 System

Pasta in tomato sauce can be a fantastic feast—it just needs a few accents to take it beyond basic. Luckily, we’ve got some good ones. This penne in marinara comes with zucchini, Tuscan herbs and spices, basil, and a cheesy breadcrumb crust. Once you’ve tossed everything together and popped it in the oven, you’re just minutes away from cheesy, herbaceous, saucy, and just ever so slightly spicy bliss.

Instructions

6 steps

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce. Cut zucchini into ¼-inch cubes. Cut mozzarella into ½-inch cubes. Halve, peel, and chop onion. Mince or grate garlic. Pick half the basil leaves from stems and roughly chop (save the rest for garnish).
2

Once water boils, add penne to pot. Cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Carefully scoop out ½ cup pasta cooking water, then drain.
3

Meanwhile, heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over mediumhigh heat (use an ovenproof pan if you have one). Add zucchini and cook, stirring, until just browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and half the Tuscan Heat Spice (we’ll use the rest later). Cook, stirring, until softened, 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4

Add marinara sauce, penne, remaining Tuscan Heat Spice, and reserved pasta cooking water to pan and stir to combine. Let simmer until warmed through, 3-4 minutes. Stir in chopped basil and half the Parmesan. Season with plenty of salt and pepper. TIP: If your pan is not ovenproof, transfer contents to an 8-by-11-inch baking dish at this point. For 4 servings, transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish..
5

Scatter mozzarella over pasta in pan or dish. In a small bowl, combine panko, remaining Parmesan, and a drizzle of olive oil, then sprinkle over pasta.
6

Place pan or dish under broiler and broil until panko is golden brown and sauce is bubbly, 5-7 minutes. (TIP: Keep an eye out for any burning.) Let cool slightly. Tear remaining basil leaves and scatter over top. Divide between bowls or plates and serve.
