Ingredients

  • 12 oz pasta (penne, fusilli, or bow ties)
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), chopped
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup mushrooms, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Instructions

  2. Toss zucchini, bell peppers, onion, tomatoes, and mushrooms with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. While vegetables roast, cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  5. In a large bowl or skillet, combine roasted vegetables with cooked pasta. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil or reserved pasta water to moisten.
  6. Season to taste. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and sprinkle with cheese if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free pasta if needed.
  • Roast extra veggies for more bulk and flavor.
  • Add chickpeas, grilled chicken, or tofu for protein.
  • Mix in spinach or arugula after cooking for extra greens.
  • Toss with tomato sauce, pesto, or cream for a saucier version.
