Roasted Summer Vegetable Pasta Recipe

Made with penne or rigatoni, this recipe becomes a great picnic pasta salad to serve at room temperature. For extra-hearty appetites, add halved bocconcini (small balls of fresh mozzarella), crumbled Feta, or goat cheese. Ingredients Ingredient Checklist ¾ pound spaghetti 1 medium eggplant, cut into 3/4-inch pieces 1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces 8 cloves garlic ½ cup olive oil kosher salt and black pepper 1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered if large ¼ cup fresh oregano leaves grated Parmesan, for serving Directions Instructions Checklist Step 1 Heat oven to 450° F.

Step 2 Meanwhile, on 2 rimmed baking sheets, toss the eggplant, onion, bell pepper, and garlic with the oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Roast, rotating the sheets halfway through, until the vegetables are golden brown
