Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables for the ones used here.
This dish can be assembled several hours ahead and chilled until ready to bake.
This turned out to be an excellent meatless meal. The only things I did differently was to add about 1/3 of a cup of chopped onions with the other vegetables and some shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce before mixing into the pasta. Even though my DH was looking for some meat, he still took two big helpings. He suggested that the next time I make this I should add some cubed ham. I will definitely make this again with or without the ham!

Thanks Sandy, excellent recipe. Colorful and tasty. Summer squash is not in season here so used zucchini. Also added carrots, green beans and cauliflower. I also used small ditali pasta and thinking I should have used a larger type. The fresh basil is definitely a MUST! 4.75
Excellent-doubled the recipe-added double or more vegetables. Instead of yellow squash used two medium zucchini and 8 oz . container of mushrooms and a red and yellow pepper. Didn't have grape tomatoes so used 5 ripe roma tomatoes(think they were better) Didn't have basil and did not miss it. Baked it a little longer as I used a 10 x l5 dish. Loved the crunchy topping. Good recipe for vegetarians and for anyone who loves vegetables.
I substituted more common vegetables like carrots,etc. and added some shredded cheddar cheese when simmering the flour and milk with the vegetables. What an easy way to have a nice, thick, delicious sauce. I also used plum tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes. That freshness adds quite a nice zing. My husband said he gives this a 10.
This casserole is a popular choice at potluck dinners for vegetarians. I used frozen peas instead of fresh snap peas as that was what I had on hand.
Delicious!! Swapped out a couple of veggies but other than that I followed the instructions and it turned out SO well. Can't wait to try it with different veggie combinations but using the entire butternut squash as the main one was perfect. Thanks for a great recipe! :)
AWESOME! My daughter and I made this together...and with a few changes each time we continue to make it. The one change we do everytime is us a jar of light alfredo sauce instead of making the sauce by the recipe. We have then changed out the fresh vegetables in the recipe for whatever is fresh at the time. We have used combinations bell peppers, asparagus, broccoli, yellow squash, zucchini. carrots, brussel sprouts, snap peas, green peas, eggplant, baby spinach, oyster mushrooms, and grape tomatoes. We have also substituted shrimp and bay scallops for chicken. This recipe is such a great base for lots of combinations. We will be making this recipe for years to come!
This is a versatile recipe. The ingredients come together beautifully. I really followed it as written and served it with roasted chicken.
