Vegetable Pasta with Ricotta Sauce is a vibrant, wholesome dish inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. This delightful meal combines a medley of fresh, nutrient-rich vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes with tender whole-grain or semolina pasta. The creamy, velvety ricotta sauce adds a rich, tangy flavor, made by blending ricotta cheese with garlic, olive oil, and a touch of parmesan. Packed with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants from the vegetables, it promotes digestion and boosts immunity. The use of ricotta, a lower-fat cheese option, provides protein and calcium for bone health. Olive oil contributes heart-friendly monounsaturated fats. However, the dish can be moderate in calories and sodium, especially if extra salt or cheese is added, so portion control is key. Light yet satisfying, this meal is perfect for a balanced, nutrient-dense lunch or dinner.
