This classic baked Sicilian dish combines anellini, a hearty tomato meat sauce, crisp vegetables and melty cheese. Topped with breadcrumbs for added flavor and texture, this mixture is baked until the flavors combine and the cheese melts for a delicious, hearty dish.
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Heat oil over medium heat and sauté onion and garlic until onion is translucent. Add beef and cook until browned, then remove mixture from pan and set aside. Sauté zucchini until tender, then add beef mixture back to pan. Add tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt and pepper; let simmer. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions until just shy of al dente. Add frozen peas to sauce mixture and simmer 2-3 minutes. Drain pasta and mix into sauce with 1 cup parmesan. Grease 9x13 pan with oil, pour in pasta mixture and top with breadcrumbs and remaining parmesan. Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Let sit in pan 10 minutes before serving. Serves 6.
