Roasted Vegetable Pasta with Balsamic
Report
A colorful medley of vegetables roasted to perfection, then tossed with warm pasta and an easy garlic-balsamic dressing!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 small onion (I used red)
- 1 bell pepper (I used orange)
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 8 oz. pasta (gluten-free if desired)
For the garlic-balsamic dressing:
- 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp. garlic powder (or 1-2 cloves minced for stronger flavor)
- 1 tsp. dried basil
Optional garnish:
- Fresh basil (or other herbs of choice), cashew parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the veggies: Chop onion, bell pepper, and zucchini into about 3/4-inch chunks. Halve the tomatoes.
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Spread out veggies on pan and season with salt. (You may want two pans to space out the veggies enough.) Roast for 35-40 minutes (or until desired tenderness) tossing halfway through.
- While vegetables are roasting, cook the pasta al dente. (Lightly boil pasta until cooked but still firm so it doesn't become mushy and fall apart when tossed with vegetables.)
- While pasta is cooking make the dressing: combine balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, and dried basil in a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Place the cooked, drained pasta in a large bowl. Immediately add the dressing and toss well to combine.
- When vegetables are roasted, add to pasta. Lightly toss.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (more salt, another drizzle of balsamic, fresh herbs, etc.) or top with cashew parmesan before serving.
Notes
- Customize: Add mushrooms, asparagus, eggplant, cauliflower, roasted garlic, etc.
- Fresh herbs: My favorite is basil, but parsley, thyme, or rosemary would work.
- For gluten-free: Use your favorite GF pasta. (I love brown rice + quinoa fusilli.)
- Pesto: A spoonful of vegan pesto would also be a nice flavor enhancement before serving.
