Ingredients

450 g Zucchini, sliced
1 head Garlic
350 g Rigatoni
200 g Ricotta Cheese
30 g Grated Mozzarella
1 Lemon, zested and juiced
30 g Breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
2
Place the sliced zucchini in a large baking dish. Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap in foil, and place in the dish with the zucchini. Bake for 20 minutes.
3
While the vegetables are roasting, boil a pot of salted water and cook the rigatoni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
4
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, lemon zest, half of the lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper.
5
Take the baking dish out of the oven. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash with a fork. Mix the mashed garlic with the zucchini.
6
Add the cooked rigatoni to the baking dish with the zucchini and garlic. Pour the ricotta mixture over the pasta and stir to combine everything well.
7
Sprinkle grated mozzarella and breadcrumbs on top of the pasta mixture. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
8
Bake in the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the top is golden and crispy.
9
Serve hot, with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a drizzle of the remaining lemon juice.
