Super Roast Veg Pasta 🍆

Super Roast Veg Pasta | This pasta dish is one I come back to time and time again. You simply roast Mediterranean vegetables until caramelised, add warm pasta to the roasting tin, toss to get everything acquainted and serve straight to the table! 🍆
Serves: 4
Time: 45 mins
1 small aubergine, cut into 2cm cubes
200g cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
2 courgettes, cut into 2cm cubes
2 red onions, quartered but roots left intact
1 bulb of garlic, top sliced
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
200g penne pasta
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan shavings, to serve
Large handful of basil leaves, to serve
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan/ 400°F/ Gas Mark 6.
Arrange the tomatoes, aubergine, courgette, red onions and garlic in separate piles across a medium-sized roasting tin with high sides. Drizzle over the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with sea salt and ground black pepper. Give everything a good toss to make sure it’s all coated evenly, then place in the oven to roast on the middle shelf for 30 minutes.
About 10 minutes before the vegetables are finished cooking, cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water until al dente.
Remove the roasting tin from the oven and carefully squeeze the mushy garlic out of the skins onto the tomatoes; discard the skins. Using the back of a fork, mash down the garlic and tomatoes until combined. Add a ladle of the pasta cooking liquid to this and stir to make a sauce. Now mix all of the contents of the roasting together and then toss in the drained pasta.
Add some generous shavings of Parmesan and roughly tear in a few basil leaves. Toss everything together until well combined and serve hot, garnished with more Parmesan shavings and basil leaves.
