Garden Vegetable Italian Bake

Garden Vegetable Italian Bake

I have been harvesting lots of veggies from the garden the last few weeks including tomatoes, zucchini, onions, potatoes, peppers and herbs!  I often feel at a loss for how to use them all and find it unfortunate for any of it to go to waste.  I came up with this delicious and simple vegetarian dish the other day and everyone loved it!  Feel free to add Italian sausage to make it a little heartier!

Recipe

Cook 1 package noodles of your choice according to the directions

In a large pot or pan over medium high heat add:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 large or 2 small zucchini, chopped

2 small yellow summer squash, chopped

2 medium sweet peppers, chopped

1 large onion, chopped finely

1 teaspoon dry Italian seasoning

sea slat and pepper to taste

Add 1 (32-ounce) jar of crushed tomatoes and remove from heat.

Place cooked noodles in a large baking dish coated in olive oil.

Add sauteed veggies in sauce on top of noodles and 1/4 cup fresh chopped basil

Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned

Let cook slightly and serve with a fresh garden salad.
