Zucchini and Squash Ricotta Pasta Casserole Recipe is the ideal pasta recipe for fall and winter.

In-season zucchini, yellow squash, and butternut squash are smothered with a homemade cream sauce and tossed with vegetables. It’s filling and comforting!

This cheesy pasta is the perfect thing when you are craving comfort food and is surprisingly light for a baked pasta dish.

I have always loved pasta. I just adore noodles covered in a cheese sauce. However, as I’ve gotten older I enjoy more than just pasta and cheese. Vegetables add flavor and nutrients to the pasta while you still get the comfort food factor of it.

Sometimes, nothing is better than a big warm bowl of pasta. And for me, when I am really craving comfort food, nothing beats a pasta dish full of cheese, sauce, and just the right amount of vegetables to balance everything out.

I love mixing in-season vegetables with pasta. You can use almost any vegetable, make a cream sauce, add it to pasta and have a great meatless meal or side dish.

You can easily make this gluten-free by using gluten-free pasta.
