Fall Veggie Pasta

Submitted by: Pam Shurkin **I made this recipe up so it's not a science. Just adjust to your liking!

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb penne pasta
  • 2 cans of your favorite pasta sauce
  • 3 small zucchini
  • 1 medium butternut squash
  • 1 package of mixed Italian cheeses (mozzarella, Parmesan, asaigo...) (about 16 oz?)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • melted butter (about 3 T)

Directions:

  1. Dice butternut squash and zucchini.
  2. Coat vegetables in melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Broil until veggies are tender and soft in the middle.
  3. Cook Pasta as directed on the package.
  4. Combine cooked pasta and veggies in a large bowl. Mix in the 2 cans of sauce and 3/4 of the cheese.
  5. Pour pasta mixture into a glass baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cheese on top.
  6. Bake pasta at 350 degrees F until the cheese is melted and slightly brown and the sauce is bubbly.

EAT!
