Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams penne pasta
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 30 grams parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and prepare the vegetables: slice the zucchini into half-moons, cut the bell pepper into strips, halve the cherry tomatoes, and roughly chop the red onion.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Place the prepared vegetables and garlic on a large baking sheet. Drizzle them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked pasta, roasted vegetables, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss gently to combine, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the mixture.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
