Roasted Vegetables with Pasta...verdure alla griglia con la pasta

This is a fantastico easy pasta to whip up on a week night. Great for vegetarians and anyone that loves the full flavours of roasted vegetables...enjoy with your favourite glass of vino and maybe some lievito (sourdough) fresh from the oven...delizioso!

200 ml olive oil

4 cloves of garlic

250g pumpkin, peeled, chopped

2 medium sweet potatoes, roughly chopped

1 parsnip, peeled, roughly chopped

3 zucchini, roughly chopped

2 sprigs rosemary

Sea salt & pepper

1 kg rigotoni/mace ronni pasta

Finely chopped flat leaf pasta 

Freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano 

Preheat oven to 180 C. Put the olive oil and garlic in a large baking tray, then add the vegetables. Roughly chop the fresh rosemary and scatter over the vegetables. Seasoned well, then toss everything gently with your hands until the vegetables are well coated with oil and herbs. Bake for 30 mins.

Cook the pasta in a pit of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain. Toss the pasta through the baked veges, add some parsley and finally the parmagiano! Delizioso... Godere
