Paolo's Zucchini and Ricotta Pasta Shells

Paolo's pasta bake that proves vegetarian dinners can be the best ones on the table.

Pasta shells filled generously with creamy ricotta, fresh zucchini, parmesan and fragrant herbs, all nestled in a rich Italian tomato sugo. It's a vegetarian dish that manages to feel both light and deeply satisfying, and the kind of thing you'd happily eat straight from the baking dish.

The filling is where the magic is. Grated zucchini folded through ricotta with lemon zest, garlic, thyme and a gentle touch of chilli - it's delicate but full of flavour, with a lovely balance of freshness in every bite. Perfect for those nights when you want something homemade and nourishing without anything feeling heavy.
