Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, halved and seeded
2 carrots, halved lengthwise
10 ounces rigatoni
1 bunch broccoli, florets finely chopped
3/4 cup roughly torn fresh basil
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh chives
1/2 cup shaved ricotta salata cheese (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Preheat a grill to medium high. Put the tomatoes in a large heatproof bowl; add a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Warm the olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until the garlic softens but does not brown, 5 minutes. Pour the garlic oil over the tomatoes; toss.
  • Lightly brush the bell pepper and carrot halves with olive oil. Grill, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender and well marked, about 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board; chop the pepper and thinly slice the carrots. Add to the tomatoes and toss.
  • Add the pasta and a few big pinches of salt to the boiling water and cook as the label directs for al dente, adding the broccoli in the last 2 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain. Add the pasta to the vegetables, along with 2 tablespoons of the cooking water; toss to coat, gradually adding more cooking water as needed if the pasta seems dry. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the basil and chives to the pasta and toss again. Divide among bowls and top with the ricotta salata.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Rigatoni is a great choice for this recipe because it holds the sauce well. However, you can use any type of pasta that you like.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to experiment with different vegetables and spices. For example, you could add zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach. You could also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.
  • Make it a one-pot meal: This recipe can easily be made in one pot. Simply cook the pasta in the same pot that you used to cook the vegetables. This will save you time and cleanup.

Conclusion:

This vegetable rigatoni recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It's packed with healthy vegetables and is sure to please the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
