Baked Vegetable & Cheese Macaroni Delight

Macaroni, cheese and herbed vegetables — delicious and beautiful. You can simply cook pasta and season it with oil, or you can diversify the usual cooking method. There are a great many such recipes. I especially liked the version of pasta with vegetables baked in the oven. Spicy herbs give vegetables a special taste and aroma. You can use any vegetables, and it’s good if they are of different colors, then the dish will turn out brighter and more beautiful.
