THIS RECIPE IS JUST PLAIN COOL. WE TAKE dried pasta and cook it in a big pot in the oven with lots of vegetables and a bit of stock, and instead of getting all fussy and clumped, as dried pasta sometimes likes to do, it pulls itself together and self-sauces! A splash of half-and-half (or cream at the end of cooking puts the whole thing over the top. The resulting dish is tender, creamy, and bursting with fresh vegetable flavor. It's a one-pan pasta treat!
