My photography skills weren't great for this baked pasta recipe, with the very low light, but this dish was awesome! An oven wouldn't be my first choice for making pasta, and in fact some Italians might scream if they saw this recipe.
I bought the pasta because I saw organic whole wheat penne for the first time on our trip, and it was 0.75 Euros for the bag. I was so excited until I got back to our hostel and found that we had no stove - just an oven.
My first attempt at oven-baked pasta was not the greatest, but I learned from my mistakes and this dish turned out really nicely, much to my surprise. A better cooking method would be to boil the pasta, then bake it underneath the vegetables, but should you find yourself with a bag of pasta, an oven and no stove I offer this recipe.
