Cooking Steps

Cook penne
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
  • Remove 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature.
  • To the boiling water, add penne. Cook for 12-14 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water. Strain penne, then return to the pot, off heat.
Prep and roast veggies
2
  • Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • To an unlined baking sheet, add peppers, zucchini and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
  • Roast in the bottom of the oven, 12-14 min, stirring halfway, until tender-crisp and golden.
Finish prep and make garlic butter
3
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Tear or cut bocconcini into 1/2-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To a medium bowl, add softened butter, garlic and half the parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Make sauce
4
  • Heat a large non-stick and oven-proof pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Swirl pan until butter melts, 30 sec.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, stock powder, half the chili flakes (use all for 4 servings) and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar. Reduce heat to low. Cook, 2-4 stirring occasionally until sauce is simmering. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake pasta and make garlic toasts
5
  • Add penne and veggies to the pan of sauce. Stir to coat. (NOTE: If you do not have a non-stick and oven-proof pan, transfer pasta mixture to an 8x8 baking dish [9x 13 baking dish for 4 servings])
  • Top with bocconcini.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven for 4-6 min, until cheese has melted.
  • Meanwhile, on an unlined baking sheet, arrange flatbreads.  Spread garlic butter over top.
  • Toast in the top of the oven for 2-4 min, until golden. (TIP: Keep an eye on flatbreads, so they don't burn!)
Finish and serve
6
  • Cut garlic flatbreads into wedges.
  • Divide pasta and garlic flatbreads between plates.
  • Sprinkle remaining parsley over pasta.
