    • Linda says:

      Did i miss what size can of tomatoes tomadd? Looks wonderful.

      • Hi Linda, I used one 28 ounce can of tomatoes. You may want to use two 28 ounce cans if you like a thinner sauce. I hope you give this one a try! Thanks so much for tuning in today, xo Kelly

  2. Arna says:

    Definitely will have to try this when I have veggies ready to be used, that day! Sounds delicious. Thanks.

    • Thanks Arna! This sauce is so great to have on hand. I will definitely be making more to freeze for other recipes. Thanks for reading today’s post, xo Kelly

      Hello Kelly … I am impressed with your fresh take on this baked pasta recipe !
      I love the idea of roasting the vegetables and incorporating them into the sauce . I agree about the mushrooms and keeping them on the top layer .
      I’m going to try it next week .
      Thanks for such goodness !

      • Hi Christine, Thank you so much! I love a meat sauce, but the roasted vegetables add so much flavor! It really is a fresh-tasting sauce. Let me know how it turns out for you. Be well, xo Kelly

    I’ve been making baked rigatoni for years, but I absolutley love your version and can’t wait to try it out!
    Take care and happy weekend!

    • Hi Sangita, let me know how you like this lasagna-style version. It’s so good! Thanks for reading and writing in today, have a lovely weekend, xo Kelly

    Kelly, I like your clear instructions.
    I would like to know about home grown mushrooms, I am not aware it could be done.
    Thanks!

    • Hello Meredith, I am glad you asked about the mushrooms! There is a great company out of Florida that sells homegrown mushroom kits called Nearby Naturals: https://nearbynaturalsfl.com/
      The kits are very easy and they don’t take up too much space. I have the Golden Oyster and the Lion’s Mane kits. I have so far harvested one batch each, and the Golden Oysters are already growing a second batch. You should get 1-4 batches from each kit. I highly recommend you try it out. It’s a lot of fun! Take care, xo Kelly

    yum, i will try this as I have some need to use veggies.

  6. It looks delicious. Mouth-watering!

  7. Linda says:

    Sorry just reread the recipe and found the amount of tomatoes. I must say they are usually included in the ingredients.

  8. Cathy says:

    Kelly, thanks for this, it’s a great way to get more vegetables into a pasta dish. How much rigatoni did you use? 8 oz, 12 oz, 16 oz?

    • Hi Cathy, I used a 12 oz bag of rigatoni. Thanks for asking, I will amend the recipe card to contain that info! Have a great weekend! xo Kelly

    Ummm . . . could I help you finish off the leftovers?

  10. Deborah says:

    OMG! I was trying to decide what to cook tonight as I read this. I had everything needed to make it, so I did. It was delicious and versatile! I didn’t have mushrooms and used red peppers instead of squash. Thank you for sharing! This is definitely going in my meal rotation.

    • Hi Deborah, That’s sounds so good, I love red peppers. I bet that sauce was amazing! Thanks so much for tuning in, I am so happy you found inspiration in the recipe and made it your own. 🙂 Enjoy your leftovers! xo, Kelly

  11. Suzanne Smith says:

    Oh, that looks scrumptious. I am a huge fan of roasted veggies–and I love the notion of mixing all that roasty good with the tomato sauce. This looks great. I will have to pin this and give it a whirl. I have made similar sauces with eggplant and another one with mushrooms that became so rich and flavorful. I also love your idea of using this on bruschetta or in stuffed peppers. Yum.

    • Hello Suzanne, I think you will really like this sauce. The concentration of flavors from roasting creates such a robust flavor overall. I didn’t miss the meat I normally use for tomato sauce. Give this a try and be sure to let me know you like it. Take care, xo Kelly

  12. Marty says:

    Recipe sounds so good. What a nice change from adding meat. Can’t wait to try this.

    Hi Kelly,

    I’ve been following your recipes for a few weeks, and I took the plunge this week. The baked rigatoni with vegetable sauce is in the oven now… of course, I tasted the sauce and it is incredible! I appreciate you for encouraging the use of any veggies on hand, as it took the pressure off and made for a great sauce. I look forward to the next issue of Kelly’s Kitchen!

    • Hello Jo Ann, I am so happy you tried the recipe! Wonderful! I love to get creative with whatever is available or on hand. Do let me know how it all turned out for you. I am sure it’s delicious! Thank you so much for your support, see you next week, xo Kelly
