Directions

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.

    What a tasty dish!! I'm not sure exactly why - the cheeses, the italian seasoning or the roasting of the veggies, but they all culminate in a filling and yummy dish that makes a ton!! I had read the reviews & mommanettie said that it was even better the next day. I initially had my doubts as often pasta can absorb the liquids & can become dry when leftover. Not this! Also,when the reviews say it makes a ton, it does! It made 2 9x11 baking dishes. Great for next day leftovers. Only downside, it uses a lot of dishes/utensils. Be ready to wash.

    delicious and hearty. A nice meatless dish. The roasted vegetables are so good. Makes a lot and is even better the next day as left overs. My kids really enjoyed this, a great way to get them to eat more veggies.
