Baked Penne with Roasted Vegetables
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
2 red peppers, cored and cut into 1-inch wide strips 2 zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1-inch cubes 2 summer squash, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1-inch cubes 1 (9-ounce) bag frozen artichoke hearts, thawed4 cremini mushrooms, halved 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 1 pound penne pasta 1 large can crushed tomatoes4 cloves garlic1 cup grated fontina cheese 1/2 cup grated smoked mozzarella 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus 1/4 cup for topping
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
On a baking sheet, toss the peppers, zucchini, squash, artichokes, and mushrooms 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, tomatoes, garlic, 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 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake until top is golden and cheese melts, about 25 minutes.
