Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil.
- Combine the tomatoes, shallots, garlic, olive oil, salt, and sugar on the prepared baking sheet. Toss with your hands or a rubber spatula until the vegetables are evenly coated. Arrange the vegetables in a single layer and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are just starting to brown. Remove the pan from the oven and add the zucchini and corn. Toss with a rubber spatula (the tomatoes will collapse; that's okay) and spread into an even layer. Roast for 5 minutes more, until the zucchini and corn are tender-crisp.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain, then add the pasta back to the pan. Add the roasted vegetables and all their juices to the pasta, along with the butter, herbes de Provence, red pepper flakes, pecorino Romano, basil, and pine nuts. Toss well, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Spoon into pasta bowls and drizzle with olive oil, if desired. Serve with more grated cheese.
- Note: Herbes de Provence can be found in the spice section of your supermarket. Most markets carry it but if you can't find it, dried thyme may be substituted.
- Note: To toast the pine nuts, put them in a dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until golden in spots, about 3 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: For the best flavor and texture, choose summer vegetables that are fresh and in season. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
- Roast the vegetables properly: To get the best flavor out of your vegetables, roast them at a high temperature until they are slightly charred and tender. This will bring out their natural sweetness and caramelize them.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, will add a burst of flavor to your pasta dish. Add them just before serving to preserve their delicate flavor.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use a good quality olive oil: A good quality olive oil will add a rich flavor to your pasta dish. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery taste.
Conclusion:
This pasta with roasted summer vegetables and basil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The roasted vegetables add a sweet and smoky flavor to the pasta, while the fresh basil adds a bright, herbaceous note. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
