This is a cozy baked pasta layered with caramelized roasted veggies, crispy cannellini beans, and canned corbara tomatoes to bring that sweet fresh-tomato flavor. Finished with Parmigiano, olive oil, and melty cheese, it’s comforting and hearty but still a feel-good food full of fiber and nutrition. By roasting it all on a sheet pan, every bite gets a crispy cheesy edge.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss the carrots, red onion, and cannellini beans with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and 1 teaspoon of the Spicy Seasoning Salt. Spread the veggies and beans out on a large rimmed sheet pan. Roast for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until caramelized, golden, and tender.

  2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the mezzi rigatoni until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
  3. In the same large bowl, combine the pasta with the canned tomatoes, roasted vegetables and beans, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, remaining 1 ½ teaspoons Spicy Seasoning Salt, and 3/4 cup Parmigiano. Add the reserved pasta water and toss together until well combined.
  4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the rimmed sheet pan, then transfer the pasta mixture to an even layer on top. Evenly sprinkle the 2 cups of mozzarella over the top. Bake at 425°F for roughly 20 to 22 minutes, until bubbling around the edges and slightly crispy on top. Finish with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and serve warm.
