Baked Pasta



My husband loves italian food and so do i. Once we went to my husband's uncle's place and aunty made such delicious pasta. When i asked her, she said its multigrain and also baked!! I mean, how can multigrain pasta taste soooo good :-)
Anyway, jokes apart, i took the recipe from her and threw in some of my ideas and some cheese to make it delicious:-) Here's the recipe.

Ingedients:

1/2 lb multigrain rotini pasta
1/2C parmesan cheese
1 bell pepper, chopped
1/2 onion, sliced
1/4C peas, thawed
1/2C broccoli florets
1C marinara sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
Method:

1) In a pot of boiling water, add salt and rotini pasta. Let the pasta boil for about 10 mins or until al dente.

2) In a baking pan, throw in the chopped vegetables, drizzle olive oil over them. Season with salt, pepper and dried italian herbs.

3) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 12-15 mins.

4) Take the vegetables out and add the al dente pasta to the vegetables , add marinara sauce and cheese. Mix it all together.

5) Again place the baking pan in the oven for about 15-20 mins until the cheese melts and the pasta is fully cooked.

6) serve hot with garlic bread.

Serves: 2-3
