Time 1h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 roma (plum) tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 zucchini, cut into cubes
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta
¾ cup prepared pesto sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Spread roma tomatoes, zucchini, green bell pepper, and onion onto a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss vegetables to coat evenly with oil; season with salt and black pepper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and starting to brown, about 30 minutes. Let vegetables cool.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain and set aside to cool.
  • Peel and discard skins from roma tomatoes. Combine the roasted vegetables, rotini, and pesto in a large bowl. Serve slightly warm or chill if desired.

This pasta salad is a bit bland. I think it needs more seasoning.

I'm not a fan of the pesto in this recipe. I think it's too overpowering.

This pasta salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I had some roasted broccoli, carrots, and zucchini, and they worked perfectly.
