Sautéed vegetables, marinara sauce, and gluten-free pasta come together in this vegetarian bake, finished with melted mozzarella and parmesan for a classic Italian-inspired dish. It’s very easy and quick to make, making it a perfect weeknight main dish or a hearty side. For a more protein-rich meal, stir in cooked cannellini beans if legumes work for your body, or add cooked ground beef or pork sausage if you include meat in your diet. Serve alongside a large garden salad for a beautifully balanced, nourishing meal.
