Ingredients

Oven-Roasted Vegetables:

2 bell peppers cut into thin, 1-inch-long slices
2 zucchini squash cut in half and then into ½-inch thick slices
2 summer squash cut in half and then into ½-inch thick slices
1 sweet onion cut into thin, 1-inch-long slices
6 oz. button mushrooms roughly chopped
¼ cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. Italian seasonings dried, or a mix of dried oregano and basil
1 ½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper

Pasta Bake:

12 ounces rotini pasta* gluten-free, cooked 1-2 minutes less than package directions
24 ounces spaghetti sauce
8 ounces mozzarella** shredded
½ cup bread crumbs gluten-free
¼ cup Parmesan cheese** grated
½ tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. Italian seasonings dried, or a mix of dried oregano and basil
2 Tbsp. butter** cut into 8 cubes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place veggies on one large, or two medium-sized, baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over veggies and sprinkle with seasonings, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until veggies are roasted.
Spray a deep 9 x 13-inch baking pan, or lasagna pan, with non-stick cooking spray or coat with olive oil. Add cooked pasta, spaghetti sauce, mozzarella, and roasted vegetables. Toss to combine.
In a small bowl combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings. Whisk to combine.
Sprinkle pasta bake with bread crumb mixture. Spread 8 cubes of butter out evenly on the top of the bread crumbs.
Cover pan with aluminum foil and reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Bake pasta for 25-30 minutes. Remove foil and broil on High for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Let pasta bake sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, to taste. Enjoy!

Notes

*I have successfully used Barilla's rotini pasta and Jovial's fusilli pasta in this recipe.

**Replace mozzarella and Parmesan with dairy-free cheese if vegetarian or vegan and use oil instead of the butter.
