ROASTED VEGETABLE PASTA

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
2 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup grated pecorino romano or parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
9 ounces fresh linguine
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, toss the zucchini and asparagus with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 20 minutes. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 more seconds. Increase the heat to medium high, add the tomatoes and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Meanwhile, add the linguine to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and add to the skillet with the sauce. Add the roasted vegetables and the reserved cooking water; toss to combine, then stir in the basil. Divide among bowls and top with more cheese.

Tips:

  • Choosing Vegetables: Select a variety of colorful vegetables to ensure a vibrant and flavorful pasta dish. Consider using a mix of root vegetables like carrots and parsnips, leafy greens like kale or spinach, and bell peppers.
  • Roasting Vegetables: Roasting vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes them slightly. Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting, and make sure to spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet to promote even cooking.
  • Cooking the Pasta: While the vegetables are roasting, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Use a large pot of salted water and bring it to a rapid boil before adding the pasta. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
  • Making the Creamy Sauce: The creamy sauce is made with a combination of heavy cream, cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Heat the heavy cream and cream cheese in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Combining Ingredients: Once the vegetables are roasted and the pasta is cooked, drain the pasta and add it to the roasted vegetables. Pour the creamy sauce over the vegetables and pasta, and stir gently to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

This creamy roast veggie pasta is a delightful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a side dish. The combination of roasted vegetables, creamy sauce, and pasta creates a flavorful and satisfying meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. With its vibrant colors and delicious taste, this dish is a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet and enjoy a healthy and satisfying meal.
