Ingredients

300g (10.5 oz) pasta (penne or fusilli works well)

2 medium zucchinis, sliced thinly

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

3 cloves garlic, minced

200g (7 oz) feta cheese, crumbled

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchinis, halved cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.

Add the cooked pasta to the bowl with the zucchini mixture and stir in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped spinach until evenly mixed.

Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches). Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. You can broil it for an additional 2-3 minutes to get a crispy top, if desired.

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil leaves, if using.

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Zucchini Feta Pasta Bake!
