Quick and easy vegetable spaghetti with lots of veggies and a simple tomato sauce made completely from scratch. For vegan spaghetti, skip the cheese and serve with a little nutritional yeast scattered on top. The sauce can be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Time 35m

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings (About 6 cups of sauce)

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 ounces spaghetti or pasta of choice
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup (140 grams) chopped onion
2 medium zucchini, chopped (1/2 pound)
2 medium yellow squash, chopped (1/2 pound)
3 garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
One (12-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1 heaping cup)
2 to 3 teaspoons mushroom powder, optional, see notes
5 cups (1/2 pound) spinach leaves
Handful fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for serving

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a wide skillet with sides over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally until translucent; 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add zucchini, yellow squash, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and a generous pinch of salt then cook, stirring occasionally until softened but still with some crunch; 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook another minute. (When making this sauce, we usually end up using between 1 and 1 1/2 teaspoons of fine sea salt.)
  • Add the roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and mushroom powder. Bring to a low simmer and cook until the liquid has thickened and reduced by half; about 10 minutes. As the sauce cooks, use a spoon to break up the whole tomatoes into smaller pieces for a chunky sauce.
  • While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil then cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Take the sauce off of the heat, and then stir in the spinach and basil. Taste then adjust with additional salt if needed. Toss in the cooked pasta, and then leave for a minute so that the pasta absorbs some of the sauce and the spinach wilts. Toss again, and then serve with parmesan or nutritional yeast sprinkled on top.

TOMATO, ZUCCHINI AND FETA GRATIN



Tomato, Zucchini and Feta Gratin image

This is a recipe I copied from Food and Wine magazine. It is easy and has a great flavor to it. I have substituted thyme for dill. If you have flavored feta available, that is really nice twist to add with this dish. Just delete the thyme. I have done both the original recipe and the flavored fetas with success. It is a lovely way to make a dish when you have a bumper crop of zucchini and tomatoes coming out of your garden.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon dried mint
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
6 cups sliced zucchini
2 medium onions, cut into thin rings
4 -6 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine the tomatoes, garlic, oil, green onions, sugar, mint and oregano in a mixing bowl.
  • Arrange a layer of zucchini slices on the bottom of the baking dish, followed with a layer of the tomato mixture and then the onions.
  • Repeat until all the vegetables are used.
  • Then sprinkle on the feta; top that with the breadcrumbs and dot with small pieces of butter.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your spaghetti will taste. Look for fresh, ripe vegetables and flavorful cheese.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini. Zucchini should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch to it. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and bland.
  • Add the feta cheese at the end of cooking. This will prevent the cheese from melting and becoming rubbery.
  • Serve immediately. Spaghetti with zucchini, tomato, and feta is best served immediately while the pasta is still hot. The flavors will meld together and the dish will be at its most delicious.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti with zucchini, tomato, and feta is a delicious and easy-to-make vegetarian dish. It is perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight meal. The zucchini and tomatoes add a fresh and flavorful twist to the classic spaghetti dish, and the feta cheese adds a creamy and tangy touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
