Though I love almost every Pasta dish, the recipe which I am sharing today-Baked vegetable pasta is my favorite. I love it so much that whenever I see someone on TV eating any pasta dish, I start craving this baked pasta.

Though a vegetarian dish even meat-lovers find it very comforting and delicious.

Like most of my other recipes, it's also very easy to make. Perfect for beginners in the kitchen.

What do you need to make it?

  1. Pasta: Here I have used Rotini but I also like making baked Pasta with different tubular pasta like Penne or Ziti as all the sauce and vegetable juices get inside it, making it even more delicious. Even in Rotini, the sauce gets inside the pasta curls which tastes amazing.
  2. Vegetables: Choose what's in season and what you prefer in your pasta. I also keep on changing the vegetables depending on the season and what's available in my fridge. Other than what I have used in this recipe, I also like putting different squash, cauliflower, green peas, carrots, etc.
  3. Sauce: Generally, I use Marinara sauce either home-made or store-bought. If you don't have Marinara, use whichever Pasta sauce you have.
  4. Cheese: This also depends upon your cheese preference. I like adding only shredded Mozzarella but a combination of different cheese-like Mozzarella and Ricotta or Parmesan can also be used.

Can it be made in advance?

Yes, you can make it in advance and keep in the fridge for around 2 days. It tastes even better the next day. Just reheat before serving.

  • While the vegetables are getting baked, boil salted water in a large pot. Add pasta. Since the pasta will also be baked later, take out 1-2 minutes before it's completely cooked
