Ingredients

2 medium red onions, halved and sliced 1/4-inch thick
4 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise 1/4-inch thick
2 small zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced crosswise 1/4-inch thick
1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt
3/4 pound fusilli
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup canned chopped tomatoes in puree
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
6 ounces Fontina cheese, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper

How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°. Put a large pot of water on to boil. Toss the onions, carrots, zucchini and bell pepper with the oil and spread on 2 large baking sheets. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring several times, until caramelized and golden brown. Transfer to a bowl, add the garlic and toss well. Reduce the oven temperature to 425°.

Step 2

Meanwhile, salt the boiling water, add the fusilli and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 11 minutes. Drain.

Step 3

Add the pasta to the roasted vegetables along with the cream, tomatoes, parsley, Fontina and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper; stir well. Transfer to a 13-by-9-inch baking pan; top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until bubbling and golden brown. Let the pasta rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Make Ahead

The pasta can be assembled up to 8 hours in advance and refrigerated until baking time. Remove from the refrigerator when you turn the oven on and increase the baking time as necessary.
