#twitterfoodparty

Today is the virtual pasta party on Twitter, just search #twitterfoodparty and you'll be able to see everyone's dishes.

I actually made this dish for Sunday's dinner because during the week Satoshi doesn't eat until really late, so having him eat pasta during the week is a no-no.

I was in the mood for a baked pasta dish with lots of veggies: leftover roasted cauliflower, roasted pumpkin.

I also sauteed some red bell pepper, eringi mushroom, shimeji mushroom and onion in homemade mac nut pesto, then added in the roasted cauliflower & pumpkin at the end because they were "pre-cooked".

The pasta I used was anelli (aka spaghetti-o's), which I got from Rowena awhile back.

I also made a bechamel sauce using this recipe. The bechamel calls for an addition of parmesan but I didn't.

Tossed everything in the sauce to coat then I divided everything into two baking dishes.

Since I didn't add the parmesan to the bechamel, I instead topped each baking dish with a slice of cheese.

I baked these for about 10 minutes under the broiler.

This was delicious, I loved all the veggies and creaminess...comfort food!

Can't wait to see what deliciousness everyone else has made...
