Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 carrots (cut into 1-inch pieces)
2 Vidalia onions (or 1 small yellow onion, cut into 1-inch pieces)
5 small pattypan squash (sliced in half)
2 small zucchini (cut into 1-inch pieces)
10 cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (more for drizzling)
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 garlic cloves (minced)
½ teaspoon herbes de Provence
Leaves from 8 sprigs fresh thyme (more for garnish)
1 16-ounce package brown rice penne pasta
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup fresh basil (more for garnish)
Juice of ½ small lemon (more if desired)
Pinches of red pepper flakes
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 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.
  • In the bottom of a large bowl, combine the 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the sherry vinegar, garlic, herbes de Provence, thyme, ¼ teaspoon salt, and several grinds of black pepper. Stir in the roasted vegetables.
  • Prepare the pasta according to the instructions on the package, cooking until al dente. Drain and transfer the cooked pasta to the large bowl with the roasted vegetables and toss to coat.
  • Add the feta, basil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes and gently toss. Season (generously!) to taste with more salt, pepper, and lemon juice, as desired.
  • Garnish with more fresh herbs and a generous drizzle of olive oil.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND RED ONIONS



Roasted Butternut Squash and Red Onions image

Here is an easy, healthy addition to a Thanksgiving feast or weekday dinner from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi, which was included in a Julia Moskin video feature in 2013. Chop up a few red onions and a butternut squash, roast them in high heat, and drizzle them with tahini sauce, herbs and pistachios. That's it. (Keep an eye on the onions, though. They may cook faster than the squash.)

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     dinner, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

About 1/2 cup olive oil, plus extra for pans
4 large red onions
Coarse salt and black pepper
4 pounds butternut squash cut into 1/2-inch wedges, peeled or unpeeled
1/3 cup pine nuts or shelled green pistachio nuts (optional)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley, mint, cilantro or a combination, for garnish
1/4 cup tahini paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, crushed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 475 degrees. Lightly coat two large baking sheets with olive oil.
  • Peel onions, leaving root ends intact. Cut each onion in half from stem to root. Cut each half into 4 wedges, leaving the root intact so that each wedge holds together. Spread on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil.
  • Put the squash in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and about 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss to coat. Spread on a baking sheet, peel side down (if intact).
  • Place both pans in oven and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, until the vegetables have taken on some color and are cooked through. Keep an eye on the onions, as they may cook faster than the squash and need to be removed earlier.
  • If using nuts, pour 1 tablespoon oil into a small frying pan and place over medium-low heat. Add nuts and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, until the nuts are golden brown and smell toasty. Immediately remove from the heat and dump onto a cutting board to stop the cooking. If using pistachios, chop coarsely when cool enough to handle.
  • To make tahini sauce, place tahini in a bowl. Add lemon juice, 1/4 cup water, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk until sauce is the consistency of honey, adding more water or a tablespoon of olive oil if necessary.
  • When the vegetables are cooked, set aside until ready to serve. (The vegetables should be served the same day they are made. They can be served at warm room temperature, or reheated just before serving.)
  • To serve, combine vegetables on a large serving platter. If using tahini sauce, drizzle on top. Sprinkle herbs and, if using, nuts on top and serve.

  • Serve the squash and onions over pasta. You can use any type of pasta that you like, such as spaghetti, penne, or macaroni. You can also serve the squash and onions over rice or quinoa.
