roasted vegetable pasta

This Broccoli Pesto Pasta with Roasted Vegetables is the best weeknight pasta dish - it&#x27;s simple to make, ridiculously delicious, and it&#x27;s packed with veggies! The pesto itself has broccoli in it for an extra dose of nutrients + flavor, and the pasta is filled with roasted broccoli, cauliflower, bell pepper, butternut squash, shallots, and mushrooms!

Broccoli Pesto Pasta with Roasted Vegetables

rigatoni (or other short-cut pasta)

cauliflower florets (cut into small florets)

butternut squash

red bell pepper,

broccoli crown,

cremini mushrooms, quartered

medium shallot, very thinly sliced

extra virgin olive oil

salt

pepper

pasta water*

cheese,

basil leaves

red pepper flakes

broccoli florets

flat leaf parsley

garlic

pine nuts, toasted*

parmesan cheese

juice of 1/2 a lemon

Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the cauliflower, butternut squash, red bell pepper, broccoli, mushrooms, and shallots. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Arrange vegetables in a single, even layer (you may need to do this with 2 baking sheets if yours isn&#x27;t large enough). Bake for 25-30 minutes, tossing once, or until vegetables are tender, caramelized, and golden brown.

While vegetables are roasting, make the pesto. Add broccoli florets to your food processor and pulse until very finely chopped. Add the basil, parsley, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and pulse several more times. Add the olive oil and blend until smooth. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta and salt the water. Once boiling, add your pasta and cook according to package directions, or until just al dente. Remember to reserve your pasta water (I just scoop a bunch out with a large mug or heat-safe glass measuring cup!) Drain pasta, and add back into the pot or a large mixing bowl. Add the pesto and a splash (start with 1/4 cup) of the pasta water and stir to coat the pasta. Add the roasted vegetables, several cranks of freshly cracked black pepper, and a couple pinches of salt and stir to combine. Add a couple handfuls of parmesan cheese and another splash of pasta water if it seems like it needs more moisture. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve with extra parmesan, basil leaves, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

Hi Jenn! Made this again last night and am again astonished how delicious it is! Both hubby and I were raving! It is the comfort food that is gonna get us through these crazy times!

Hope you and your family are doing well.

Happy Holidays,
Chris-

Delish!  I made exactly as written, except (I know, I know, I'm sorry), I added some mushrooms because I had them and they *needed* to be used.  They added a nice touch.  I threw them in on the baking sheet, but next time I'll slice them and put them in with the tempeh and kale.  I scooped the Orecchiette from the cooking pot into the skillet because the skillet looked a tad dry.  The pasta water was perfect (in addition to the veggie stock), to cream it up a bit. This recipe will stay in rotation!  My mind is already figuring numerous things to swap in depending on what is in the fridge.  Beet greens?  Yam?  Carrots?  The possibilities are endless!!  THANK YOU!

For some reason the stars are not lighting up for me, but believe me the stars were lit up last night! This dish is everything you said it would be, delish and cozy on a cool autumn evening. I pretty much followed it to the letter, but used spices I had to make my own italian seasoning, used low sodium soy sauce instead of tamari and used less oil. 

Recipe makes a ton so we have plenty of leftovers for tonight and I am sure it will be just as good or better leftover. 

Oh, and for dessert, we had the date nut bread :)

I love your recipes Jenn. 

Going plant based has never been easier :)

A colorful medley of vegetables roasted to perfection, then tossed with warm pasta and an easy garlic-balsamic dressing!

Roasted Vegetable Pasta with Balsamic

onion (I used red)

bell pepper (I used orange)

zucchini

cherry tomatoes

pasta (gluten-free if desired)

Tbsp. balsamic vinegar

basil

basil (or other herbs of choice), cashew parmesan

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&#039;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.
