Grilled Chicken & Veggie Three Cheese Pasta Bake image

This is fabulous! It takes a little longer ( it's not really a quickie) but it is sooo worth it. Serve with a big salad and a nice loaf of Italian bread and they'll be in heaven.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 zucchini
1 yellow squash
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
olive oil
15 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 tablespoon parsley
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 cup grated pecorino romano cheese
1 quart spaghetti sauce (use your favorite)
1/2 lb sliced mozzarella cheese
12 ounces cooked pasta (penne, rigatoni or ziti)

Steps:

  • Wash veggies and cut into large slices. Brush the veggies and chicken with olive oil and grill until chicken is almost done and veggies are crisp-tender.
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together ricotta, egg, parsley, garlic and romano cheese.
  • Cover bottom of 13x9 lazagna pan with about 1 cup of sauce, add pasta, spoon cheese mixture over pasta (kind of mix it in a tiny bit- I sort of poke it down between the pasta a little), top with veggies and chicken. Top with remaining sauce (shake it a litlle so the sauce runs down between everything), cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove foil, spread mozzarella over top and bake for 15 minutes more or until cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
