Heat oven to 450. In 9x13 glass pan, place peppers, onion, zucchini and mushrooms. Sprinkle with basil. In a small bowl, mix oil, vinegar, Italian seasonings, salt and pepper; drizzle over veggies. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes. Stir after 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook and drain pasta according to package directions. Reduce oven temperature to 350, and add tomatoes and pasta to the veggie mix. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with cheese and bake uncovered for 15+ more minutes until the veggies are tender and the cheese is melted.
