Roasted Ratatouille Pasta
Description
This Roasted Ratatouille Pasta recipe starts with diced eggplant, zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes tossed in a dressing made from olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tomato puree, crushed garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. The vegetables roast at 220°C (425°F) for 45 minutes, stirred halfway to promote even cooking and caramelization.
Meanwhile, the pasta is cooked al dente and drained. Once the vegetables are roasted and tender, they're combined with the pasta, blending the softened, sweet vegetables with the pasta's bite. The optional garnish of fresh chopped basil and grated Parmesan adds brightness and umami to the dish.
This pasta can be served warm as a full meal that highlights the roasted vegetables’ rich flavors. Attention to even vegetable dicing ensures uniform cooking, and spreading vegetables out on the baking tray prevents steaming, encouraging roasting and flavor concentration.
