Directions
Baked Penne With Roasted Vegetables, courtesy Giada De La, I watched Giada prepare this dish on her Food Network show, Everyday Italian Episode: Vegetarian Italian It looked so easy and delicious, I prepared it for my family that same night It was a big hit! NOTE: Giada prepared this dish for her Mother who dislikes garlic, so I added 10 split cloves of garlic to the vegetables before roasting , This was an easy, basic comfort food dish One drawback was that it did dirty a lot of dishes This yields a lot of food, which is good if you are cooking for others , One of our FAVORITES! use whole wheat penne from Trader Joe’s, Rao’s marinara (a splurge but SO worth it, and often on sale at Sprouts) and regular marinara instead of smoked Herbes d’Provence is wonderful if you have them, otherwise Italian herbs is fine We are a small family so I make 2 at a time (two 8×8 pans, one goes into freezer) Love to add grilled chicken breast if I have it A great dish for meal trains or families in need of a home-cooked meal Thanks Giada – this one is a keeper
