Many summers ago my dad made us this Roasted Veggie Pasta and we all agreed it was one of the most delicious dinners. It’s loaded with all of the colourful, crispy vegetables, crumbled feta and topped with fresh basil.
While it is a pasta dish, it still feels really light and refreshing, and I do find I make it more in the summer months. Roasting the veggies adds such a nice depth of flavour to this dish and it’s a great dinner idea for a meatless Monday or if you’re trying to increase that veggie intake.

Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 425 degrees.
- Chop up all of your vegetables into bite sizes pieces and add them to a large baking pan. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil, a generous amount of salt and pepper and toss to combine. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, mixing halfway through.

- Add a couple tbsp of pasta water at a time to thin out the sauce if you need.
- Top with basil and parmesan cheese.

Love this recipe! Made multiple times now. The recipe is missing onion – the Instagram video shows onion but the recipe doesn’t list it. Also I start cooking the pasta as soon as I put the veggies in the oven to make it more efficient – I just keep the pasta warm in the pot and then add it directly to the sauce to make everything delicious and warm at the end.
