Delicious vegetarian pasta dish with a smoky flavor. A Giada recipe.
| 2 | red peppers, cored and cut into 1-inch wide strips |
| 2 | zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1-inch cubes |
| 2 | yellow squash, (summer squash) quartered lengthwise and cut into 1-inch cubes |
| 4 | oz. cremini mushrooms, halved |
| 1 | yellow onion, peeled and sliced into 1-inch strips |
| 2 | tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
| 1 | teaspoon salt, divided |
| 1 | teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided |
| 1 | tablespoon dried Italian herb mix or herbs de Provence |
| 12 | ounces whole wheat penne pasta |
| 3 | cups marinara sauce (store bought or homemade) |
| 1 | cup grated fontina cheese |
| 1/2 | cup grated mozzarella (smoked), grated |
| 1 1/2 | cups frozen peas, thawed |
| 1/4 | cup grated Parmesan cheese, |
| 1/3 | cup Parmesan cheese, grated, for topping |
| 2 | tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces |
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- On a baking sheet, toss the peppers, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, and onions with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and dried herbs. Roast until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for about 6 minutes. Since you will be cooking the pasta a second time in the oven, you want to make sure the inside is still hard. Drain in a colander.
- In a large bowl, toss the drained pasta with the roasted vegetables, marinara sauce, cheeses, peas, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Using a wooden spoon, gently mix, until all the pasta is coated with the sauce and the ingredients are combined.
- Pour the pasta into a greased 9 by 13-inch pan. Top with the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and butter pieces. Bake until top is golden and cheese melts, about 25 minutes.
