Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 red peppers, cored and cut into 1-inch wide strips
2 zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 summer squash, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cremini mushrooms, halved
1 yellow onion, peeled and sliced into 1-inch strips
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, divided, to taste

3 cups marinara sauce (store bought or homemade)
1 cup grated Fontina cheese, to taste
1/2 cup grated smoked mozzarella cheese, to taste
1 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, for topping, to taste
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
