Pasta Primavera

"Roasting the veggies makes this unique from any other Primavera. This is truly TO DIE FOR! My take on a Giada de Laurentiis dish. I've tweaked it quite a bit. I have also tossed about 2 cups of rotisserie chicken in with the veggies and also used tortellini instead of the bowtie pasta. (I also add mushrooms when DH isn't home!) Anyway, it's a very easy recipe to play around with! Enjoy!"

directions

  • On 1 cookie sheet toss all the veggies in olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper until well coated. Transfer half veggies onto another cookie sheet. Spread veggies into an even layer on both pans.
  • Roast at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, turning after 10 minutes.
  • Toss hot pasta with butter. Then add veggies to the pasta. Use reserved pasta water to combine ingredients if necessary (sometimes I just don't need to add it -- ).
  • Sprinkle with parm cheese, adding more salt and pepper to taste if need!

  1. This is one of those dishes that deserves more than 5 stars! It was absolutely delicious You can add virtually anything to this dish. I definitely reccommend this. Thanks KPD!
     
  2. Wow, delicious & ridiculously easy. I used the veggies I had on hand including grape tomatoes. The only thing different I did was sprinkle 4 cloves of minced garlic generously around & over the veggies before roasting.
     
  3. Turned out great! I added mushrooms and used organic purple and white carrots .. tasted terrific. Roasting the veggies in the oven seems to make the big difference. It wasn't difficult to taste and was very flavorful.
     
  4. Loved this with the roasted veggies. Topped with garlic, parsley and fresh basil. YUM
     
  5. So yummy! And easy! You can play with whatever vegi's you have and it turns out great. Thanks for the great recipe KPD...

  1. 20 minutes is way too long at 450 degrees. 10 is better, especially if your carrots are cut into small matchsticks. Add the garlic at the end of roasting -- it will burn.
     
  2. Very enjoyable. I used shaved carrots instead of carrot sticks and arugula instead of asparagus, adding both of these in the last couple of minutes to the oven roast. I also cut the veg roasting time by 33% to about 14 minutes. Will definitely do again.
     
  3. Wow! Great recipe and very easy. I subbed green beans for the asparagus (DS isn't a fan of asparagus) and otherwise followed the directions as written. 20 minutes does seem a little long for how thin you cut the veggies, but otherwise, a real winner. Lunch today is leftovers!
