Italian Vegetable and Pasta Casserole

Craving a hearty, veggie-packed meal? This Italian Vegetable and Pasta Casserole is your answer. It’s simple, flavorful, and perfect for any night.

Ingredients

• 2 cups penne pasta (I like whole wheat for extra fiber)
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for richness)
• 1 medium zucchini, diced (about 1.5 cups)
• 1 red bell pepper, diced (adds a sweet crunch)
• 1 cup marinara sauce (homemade or your favorite jarred)
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (full-fat for creaminess)
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (melts beautifully)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for a salty kick)
• 1 tsp dried basil (fresh is great if you have it)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (quick flavor booster)
• Salt and pepper to taste (I start with 1/2 tsp salt)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Cook penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini and bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
4. Stir in marinara sauce, ricotta, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined. Tip: Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes to meld flavors.
5. Combine cooked pasta with the vegetable sauce mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
6. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top. Tip: For extra golden cheese, broil the last 2 minutes.
7. Bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and cheese is melted.
8. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Tip: This rest time helps the casserole set for cleaner slices.

Brimming with cheesy, veggie goodness, this casserole is a crowd-pleaser. Serve with a crisp green salad for a complete meal.

Greek Moussaka Casserole

Here’s a Greek Moussaka Casserole that’s hearty and layered with flavors. Perfect for a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground lamb (beef works too, but lamb is traditional)
• 2 large eggplants, sliced into 1/2″ rounds (I like to leave the skin on for texture)
• 1 large potato, sliced into 1/4″ rounds (Yukon Golds are my pick for their buttery flavor)
• 1 onion, diced (yellow for sweetness)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is best)
• 1 can (14.5 oz) crushed tomatoes (San Marzano for their rich taste)
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for frying and flavor)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon (don’t skip, it’s the secret spice)
• 1/2 tsp ground allspice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for that golden top)
• 2 eggs, beaten (room temp blends better)
• 1 cup milk (whole milk makes it creamier)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13″ baking dish.
2. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry eggplant slices in batches until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
3. In the same skillet, add remaining oil and sauté onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cook for 1 minute.
4. Add ground lamb, breaking it up. Cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in cinnamon, allspice, salt, and pepper.
5. Mix in crushed tomatoes. Simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.
6. Layer potatoes in the baking dish. Top with half the lamb mixture, then half the eggplant. Repeat layers.
7. Whisk eggs, milk, and half the Parmesan. Pour over the top. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan.
8. Bake for 45 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Rich in flavor with layers of tender eggplant and spiced lamb, this casserole is a comforting meal. Serve with a crisp salad to cut through the richness.

Oven-baked French Ratatouille Casserole is a vibrant, vegetable-packed dish that’s as nutritious as it is colorful. Perfect for a summer dinner, it layers fresh produce with herbs for a hearty meal.

Ingredients

– 2 medium eggplants, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds (I leave the skin on for extra texture)
– 2 zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
– 2 yellow squashes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
– 4 Roma tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
– 1 red bell pepper, diced (for a sweet crunch)
– 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
– 3 garlic cloves, minced (fresh is best here)
– 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for richness)
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– 1 tsp dried rosemary
– Salt and pepper to taste (I’m generous with the pepper)
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for a crispy top)

Instructions

2. In a large bowl, toss the eggplant, zucchinis, yellow squashes, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic with olive oil, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Arrange the vegetables in a 9×13 inch baking dish, alternating slices for a colorful pattern.
4. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Tip: The foil keeps the steam in, softening the vegetables perfectly.
5. Remove the foil, sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over the top, and bake uncovered for another 20 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Tip: Watch the cheese closely to avoid burning.
6. Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving. Tip: This rest time helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
