Loaded Veggie Cheesy Pasta Bake - 20 minutes for this wholesome family meal!

As most of y’all know, I am obsessed with pasta – I like to refer to myself as a pastatarian, in fact. Cover it in sauce, in cheese, mix in some veggies…how could you go wrong? You can’t. Repeat again, you can’t go wrong. This Loaded Veggie Cheesy Pasta Bake is full of delicious fresh veggies, covered in an amazing Barilla® Marinara Sauce, and then smothered in mozzarella cheese. I’m telling you, it doesn’t get any better than this folks!

I don’t know about you, but when I get home from work, the last thing I want to do is cook dinner. I usually head to the gym right after work, and then by the time I get home, I am so tired. Having a meal like this, where it’s super easy and full of vegetables, is essential at my house. That’s why keeping Barilla® Organic Spaghetti and Barilla® Marinara Sauce on hand, is so important! 

Loaded Veggie Cheesy Pasta Bake - 20 minutes for this wholesome family meal!The Barilla® Pasta is made with certified organic wheat, no gmo ingredients, and always al dente with delicious taste. The sauce is made with real vegetables, it’s all natural, and gluten free. This is the first time the marinara sauce has been available in a 4-pack at BJ’s which is very convenient!

For this recipe, I used the Barilla® Organic Penne, because I love how it works with the vegetables. I can easily get a forkful of pasta, veggies, and cheese!
