Ingredients
12 ounces dry penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
4 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and diced zucchini. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Add the dry penne pasta and stir to make sure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover the Dutch oven with a lid.
Simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the pasta before serving.
