For a richer flavor, consider roasting the vegetables before adding them to the pasta. Feel free to add other vegetables such as mushrooms, spinach, or kale. If you don't have ziti, penne or rigatoni pasta will work well as substitutes. For a vegan option, use vegan mozzarella slices and a vegan Parmesan cheese substitute.
