Instructions
Making Roasted Veggie Pasta with Feta is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
3. Roast the Vegetables: Spread the veggies evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through for even roasting.
4. Cook the Pasta: While the vegetables roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
5. Combine Pasta and Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the drained pasta and the roasted vegetables. Mix well.
6. Add Feta: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese. If the pasta seems dry, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
7. Serve: Transfer to serving plates and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
With these easy steps, you’ll create a dish that dazzles your taste buds.
