Baked Ziti and Summer Veggies image

Wondering what to do with all your summer veggies? This casserole dish is the ticket! Stumbled across this one on the internet. It was delicious. I used a little more pasta and cheese than what the recipe called for because I knew my kiddos would probably pick out the pasta. Baked as is: 301 calories, 12.1 grams fat, 4.1 grams...

This dish was a little too bland for my taste. I would have liked more garlic and maybe some red pepper flakes.
