Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Add broccoli and carrots to the skillet. Cook until slightly tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in peas and cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, vegetable mixture, cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Stir well to combine.
  6. Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture. You can also substitute other vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
