This vegetarian recipe for Quick & Easy Roasted Vegetable Pasta is a tasty and simple dish that’s perfect for busy weeknight dinners. It can also be made using a low-fat cooking spray instead of the oil which works really well for when you’re looking for a low-fat meal.
This is so delicious and easy to prepare. I make this a lot, especially when I’m watching what I eat. It’s delicious and filling without all the guilt you get with a lot of pasta dishes.
All you have to do is throw the vegetables in the oven and roast them in either olive oil or cooking spray, and when it’s done you just mash the garlic and mix in the pasta. Add a little seasoning, fresh herbs, and some grated cheese and it’s done!
It’s a fuss-free dinner that the whole family with love! Pasta dishes are a love of mine, why not try Pasta Alla Norma (Pasta with Eggplant Sauce) or for a seafood twist to your pasta dish, Easy Shrimp Scampi Pasta. No reason not to serve restaurant-quality pasta dishes at home!
My son absolutely hates almost every pasta sauce there is, but he loves this roasted vegetable pasta because it’s just vegetables, (which he loves) and pasta, (his very favorite thing). He even eats the onions because they’re purple and he thinks they are something other than onions (shhh).
