Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup white wine
4 red bell peppers , cut into thin strips
2 zucchini , cut into thin strips
2 sweet onions, coarsely chopped
15 oz part-skim ricotta cheese
1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp flour
1 cup skim milk
12 oz elbow macaroni
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Directions:

Heat oven to 375°F.
Cook pasta in boiling water until just al dente.
Drain.
On a large skillet over medium high heat, bring wine to a boil.
Add bell peppers, zucchini and onion.
Cook, stirring occasionally, 12-15 minutes- or until vegetables are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a food processor , process ricotta until smooth.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Add flour and cook about 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
Slowly whisk in milk and cook, whisking, 4-5 minutes, or until thickened.
In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, vegetables, ricotta and white sauce until well mixed.
Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a 2.5 quart baking dish coated with cooking spray.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
