Instructions
To prepare grilled vegetables, place bell peppers, skin sides down, on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; cook 15 minutes or until blackened.
Place in a zip-top plastic bag; seal.
Let stand 15 minutes. Peel and cut into strips.
Place squash and onion on grill; cook 5 minutes on each side or until tender.
To prepare tomato pure, place tomatoes in a large Dutch oven. Cover and cook over medium heat 30 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
Place tomatoes in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Return to pan. Stir in vodka; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. (You will have 5 cups pure.)
To prepare white sauce, combine flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan; gradually add the milk, stirring with a whisk. Cook over medium-high heat until thick (about 7 minutes), stirring constantly. Set aside.
Bring water to a boil in a large stockpot.
Add noodles; return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, 10 minutes or until noodles are done, stirring occasionally.

Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 cup Gruyre, and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Repeat layers twice, ending with noodles.
