This comforting pasta bake is easy to make and perfect for a busy weeknight!
Ingredients
8 oz pasta (penne or fusilli works great)
2 cups mixed veggies (like bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach)
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
How to Make It
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large oven-safe pan, combine the pasta, mixed veggies, marinara sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Add 2 cups of water and stir everything together.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the pasta is tender, remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve
Serve hot, straight from the pan. It’s perfect for a cozy dinner and feels like a warm hug in a bowl!
