Ingredients:

Serving

1 (375 g) box whole wheat penne
4 tbsp olive oil
2 1/4 cups marinara sauce (separated )
1 yellow zucchini
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1/2 onion
3 garlic cloves (pressed and separated )
1/2 tbsp dried basil
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat over to 350. (I like to do this once the vegetables have been sauteed.).
Cut bell peppers and zucchini into bite sized chunks. Dice onion and press 2 cloves of garlic. Toss together in a medium bowl with 2 tbls olive oil and some ground black pepper.
In a medium frying pan heat 2 tbls olive oil and sauté mixed vegetables for about 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a large pot cook the box of penne in salted water, according to package directions. Once cooked let stand for about 5 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, in a large bowl, mix together ricotta, dried basil, 1 clove of pressed garlic, and 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce.
While pasta is set aside, add veggies to ricotta mixture.
Once pasta has cooled slightly add to ricotta and veggie mixture.
Coat the bottom of a 7x11 baking dish with 3/4 cup marinara sauce and pour pasta mixture on top. Top it of with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake on the middle rack for 30 minutes.
