This dish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some broccoli and cauliflower to the mix and it turned out great. The balsamic marinade really brings out the flavor of the vegetables.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. The vegetables were also a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I can see how others might enjoy it. The vegetables were cooked well and the pasta was al dente. I would recommend using a milder vinegar in the marinade next time.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The vegetables were overcooked and the pasta was mushy. The balsamic marinade was also too strong for my taste. I would not recommend this recipe.
