Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring diced tomatoes, tomato paste, water, vinegar, and parsley to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  2. Use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese, ricotta cheese, sour cream, and egg until smooth. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.

  3. Heat butter and oil in a large nonstick pan. Add red bell pepper, zucchini, carrots, onion, and mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently.

  4. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  5. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
