- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the carrots and onions on the first sheet and the pattypan squash, zucchini, and tomatoes on the other. Drizzle both sheets of vegetables with olive oil and generous pinches of salt and pepper. Place the sheet with the carrots and onions in the oven first and roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until the onions are tender and lightly charred, and the carrots are tender and browned. Place the second sheet in and roast for 20 minutes, or until the squash and zucchini are golden brown around the edges, and the tomatoes are lightly bursting. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Tips for Making Pasta with Roasted Vegetables:
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more colorful your vegetables, the more flavorful your pasta will be. Try using a mix of hearty vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and potatoes, with softer vegetables like zucchini, tomatoes, and bell peppers.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the vegetables, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of roast.
- Season the vegetables well: Before roasting, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Al dente pasta will hold up better to the roasted vegetables and sauce.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will bring all the flavors of the dish together. Try using a simple tomato sauce, a creamy pesto sauce, or a flavorful white wine sauce.
Conclusion:
Pasta with roasted vegetables is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a relatively healthy dish.
