Ingredients

• 400 grams Penne pasta
• 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large Zucchini
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Slice the zucchini into half-moons, the red bell pepper into strips, the red onion into wedges, and leave the cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 3

Place the sliced vegetables on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

While the vegetables are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic cloves for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the roasted vegetables to the skillet, followed by the cooked pasta. Toss to combine.

Step 9

Pour the balsamic mixture over the pasta and vegetables. Stir well, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.

Step 10

Tear the fresh basil leaves and stir them into the pasta just before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
