Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until slightly tender. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

            Add Cheese: Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the pasta and veggies.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

                Garnish & Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, then serve warm. Enjoy your creamy Alfredo veggie bake!
