Tasted delicious and a good base for a pasta dish with cheese and roasted veggies. I didn't have the cheeses listed in the recipe available and was desparately low on ingredients so actually substituted shredded up sting cheese, havarti cheese and pecorino romano. I took another reviewer's advice and added some paprika to give the sring cheese a smoky flavor and it actually melted fairly well. I roasted the veggies the night before when I had the oven going, and just used what I had on hand - orange bell pepper, onion, cherry tomatoes and some garlic cloves. Used Mario Batali's marinara sauce. The other people posting about covering it with foil are right - it will get burnt on top otherwise. Just take the foil off about 10 minutes before taking out of the oven.

I just made a (mostly vegan version of this dish and it's amazing! I made it almost exactly the same, with the following tweaks:
- no cheese
- instead of butter and parmesan as the topping, I melted margarine and mixed in 4 tbsp of bread crumbs
- 1/2 tsp salt (vs. 1 tsp
- butternut squash (couldn't find summer squash

I was skeptical that it would be yummy without the cheese, but it's delicious! If you were to remove all but the parmesan, you'd still get that low-cal dish with a bit of added flavour.

Fabulous! Rich and delicious. Didn't have parmesan but had grated asiago so sprinkled that on top. Only "complaint" - a veggie pasta dish implies a "healthy" characterization. This dish was delicious and yummy and fun to smell as the veggies roasted. But don't include this in your low-cal recipes. Include it in your Fun To Indulge Occasionally recipes.

Wonderful dish! Never cooked with smoked mozzarella or fontina cheese. What a treat. Makes quite a bit -so I hope it freezes well!

This is a super easy and delicious recipe! I am usually not a fan of smoked cheeses, but the smoked mozzarella was really good! I added an additional red pepper and used low fat mozzarella instead of fontina. I also used the Barilla penne with omega 3 and it really bumped up the protein factor. I highly recommend this one!
