- 1 yellow onion peeled and sliced into 1-inch strips
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian herb seasoning

- 3 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup grated fontina cheese to taste
- ½ cup grated smoked mozzarella cheese to taste
- 1½ cup frozen peas thawed
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese more to taste
- 2 tablespoon butter cut into small pieces, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Take a baking sheet and place peppers, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, and onions on it. Add olive oil, dried herbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss everything together.
- Roast the vegetables for approximately 15 minutes, or until they become tender.
