Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 medium eggplant, cubed
3 small yellow squash, cut in 1/4 inch slices
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ ounces sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in 1/2 cup boiling water
½ cup torn arugula leaves
½ cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons minced garlic
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1 (12 ounce) package farfalle pasta

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with foil, and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl toss the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, eggplant, and squash with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on the prepared cookie sheet.
  • Bake vegetables 25 minutes in the preheated oven, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned.
  • In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta 10 to 12 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
  • Drain the softened sun-dried tomatoes and reserve the water. In a large bowl, toss together the roasted vegetables, cooked pasta, sun-drained tomatoes, arugula, and basil. Mix in remaining olive oil, reserved water from tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and feta cheese; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until chilled.

I'm not a big fan of olives, so I omitted them from the salad. It was still delicious!

I'm not a huge fan of feta cheese, so I used crumbled goat cheese instead. It was still delicious!
