Ingredients

    -1 box Barilla Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
    -1 29-oz can Hunt's tomato sauce (or preferred brand)
    -16 oz. part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded, 1 c. reserved
    -16 oz. part-skim ricotta cheese
    -2 Tbsp. Italian herb blend
    -1/2 medium zucchini, about 1 c. diced
    -1 small summer squash, about 1 c. diced
    -1/4 large red onion, about 1 c. sliced
    -1 c. frozen peas
    -1/2 large green pepper, about 1 c. sliced
    -1/2 red bell pepper, about 1 c. sliced
    -3 tsp. minced garlic
    -1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
    -Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

-Cook pasta according to the package directions.
-Meanwhile, prepare the veggies.
-Toss prepped veggies with 1/4 c. olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper. Broil under high heat until slightly roasted (onions will begin to look wilted), but don't overdo it - the veggies will cook with the pasta later.
-While veggies are broiling and pasta is cooking, mix shredded mozzarella, ricotta and Italian herb mix in a bowl.
-Once veggies are done, set aside and set oven to 375F.
-Grease a large casserole dish.
-Pour about 1/2 c. of tomato sauce in bottom of dish.
-Follow with 1/2 of the drained pasta, 1/2 of the veggie mixture, 1/2 of the cheese mixture and about 1 c. of the tomato sauce.
-Repeat the last step, layering everything evenly.
-Top with the reserved 1 c. mozzarella cheese.
-Bake for approximately 30 minutes, until cheese on top is golden and bubbly.
