Ingredients
  

  • 2 cremini mushrooms  halved
  • 2 red pepper cored and cut into 1-inch wide strips
  • 2 summer squash quartered lengthwise and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 zucchini quartered lengthwise and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 yellow onion peeled and sliced into 1-inch strips
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian herb seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper divided, to taste
  • 1 pound penne pasta
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup grated fontina cheese to taste
  • ½ cup grated smoked mozzarella cheese to taste
  • 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.
  • Meanwhile, on high heat, bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
  • Add the pasta to the pot and cook it for about 6 minutes. Ensure that the pasta is not fully cooked because you will cook it again in the oven.
  • Drain the pasta using a colander.
  • In a large bowl, mix the drained pasta with the roasted vegetables, marinara sauce, cheeses, peas, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Gently stir everything together with a wooden spoon until the pasta is completely coated with the sauce and all ingredients are combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch pan.
  • Top the mixture with the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and butter pieces.
  • Bake the dish for around 25 minutes, or until the top turns golden and the cheese melts.
