Roast vegetable pasta
- 2 red capsicums
- 2 carrots, halved lengthways
- 500g butternut pumpkin, peeled
- 1 small eggplant (300g), halved lengthways
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 125g button mushrooms, halved
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 250g dried fettucine pasta
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped flat leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup small basil leaves (optional)
- 125g reduced fat ricotta
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Preheat oven to 240C (220C fan-forced). Cut capsicum, carrot, pumpkin, eggplant and zucchini into 2cm pieces. Arrange over base of a large non-stick roasting pan. Add onion, mushrooms and oil. Toss well. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the vegetables twice during cooking time until light golden and tender.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large saucepan of unsalted boiling water, following packet directions. Drain and add to the hot roasting pan. Add the herbs and ricotta and toss gently.
- Drizzle over lemon juice. Season with pepper. Serve immediately
Tips
- You can replace the eggplant with squash or 1 cup frozen peas. If using peas, add them to the pan with the pasta in the last 2 minutes of cooking time.
- Serve this veggie-packed pasta as a side to grilled lean chicken, beef or lamb steaks.
