Ingredients
  

  • 500 g Pasta
  • 500 g Pasta Sauce
  • 200 g Mozzarella Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 2 Zucchinis Sliced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper Sliced
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper Sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 Onion Diced
  • Salt To taste
  • Black Pepper To taste
  • Basil To garnish

Instructions

  • First, preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
  • Cook the Penne pasta until it's al dente, following the package instructions. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onions until they release a pleasant aroma and the onions become translucent.
  • Incorporate the zucchini and bell peppers into the pan, and season them with salt and pepper. Sauté the vegetables until they reach a slight tenderness.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sautéed vegetables, and marinara sauce. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
  • Transfer the pasta and vegetable mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  • Allow the pasta bake to cool for a few minutes before serving. For a final touch, garnish with fresh basil leaves.
