Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 medium zucchinis, sliced
2 medium onions, sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
1 (28 ounce) jar marinara sauce
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Toss zucchinis and onions in a large bowl with olive oil until evenly coated. Spread vegetables into a large baking dish.
  • Roast vegetables in the preheated oven until golden, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
  • Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until sauce is hot. Spread hot marinara sauce into the prepared baking dish, followed by penne pasta and zucchini mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese atop vegetables.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
