I was in a time crunch after painting all day AND I forgot to take something out for dinner. What was I going to make. Pasta is always a good choice, it's fast, easy and you can do so many things with it. I had a whole refrigerator full of fresh vegetables so I used them up and made this fantastic roasted veggie mix for the pasta.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Get a large pot of salted water going on the stove for the pasta. I used red and yellow grape tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, a red onion and red and green peppers. I left the tomatoes whole, cut the squash and the zucchini in half and slice into 1/2 inch slices, quarter the red onion then cut in half, cut peppers into small chunks. Put all the veggies on a large baking sheet, add two tablespoons of fresh minced garlic, two tablespoons of fresh sliced basil, 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of fresh cracked pepper and drizzle on 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Toss it all together, into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. When water is boiling, add pasta and stir.
Take out, stir them up and return to oven for another 20 minutes. They should be slightly browned and caramelized at this point. Remove from oven.
Toss those scrumptious veggies with your drained pasta and serve with fresh grated Locatelli cheese. Good fast food, that's good for you!
