Pasta Primavera

A delicious and satisfying weeknight meal that's colorful and full of flavor.

📝 Ingredients

• 3 large carrots (cut into thin strips)
• 2 medium zucchini (cut into thin strips)
• 2 medium yellow squash (cut into thin strips)
• 1 medium onion (cut into thin strips)
• 1 large yellow bell pepper (cut into thin strips)
• 1 large red bell pepper (cut into thin strips)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 pound Farfalle (bowtie pasta or penne)
• 15 cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2. 2Place all the vegetables except for the tomatoes onto a large heavy baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with dried herbs, salt, and pepper, and toss until all are coated.
3. 3Move half of the vegetable mixture to a second baking sheet. Roast in oven until the carrots are tender and the vegetables begin to brown. Flipping or stirring after the first 10 minutes is helpful but not required. Roast about 20 minutes total.
4. 4While the vegetables are roasting, cook the pasta until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain the pasta but reserve one cup of the pasta water.
5. 5Toss the pasta and roasted vegetables in a large bowl. Add in the cherry tomatoes and just enough of the reserved pasta water to loosen and moisten the dish. Season with additional salt and pepper according to your tastes. Sprinkle with the fresh grated Parmesan and serve immediately.
