Baked Farfalle With Escarole and Zucchini
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound farfalle
- 2 tablespoons extra-virigin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1 28 -ounce can plum tomatoes
- 1 15 -ounce can plum tomatoes
- 4 large sprigs basil, plus 1 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 1/2 cups chopped escarole, sauteed
- 1 1/2 cups sliced zucchini, sauteed
- 3 cups shredded Italian fontina cheese
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the farfalle until very al dente, 2 to 3 minutes less than the label directs; drain.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is golden.
- Crush the plum tomatoes into the skillet with your hands; rinse out each can with 1/2 cup water and add the water to the skillet.
- Add the basil sprigs; simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is thickened, 15 minutes.
- Discard the basil; season the sauce with salt.
- (Alternatively, heat 4 cups prepared tomato sauce.)
- Stir the chopped basil and parsley into the sauce, then add the escarole and zucchini.
- Brush a 3-to-4-quart baking dish with olive oil.
- Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce and half of each cheese.
- Spread in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the pasta.
- Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes.
- Let rest 15 minutes before serving.
