Billy’s Veg Pasta

It’s a good day when this recipe is on the dinner menu. Not only is it absolutely delicious, but I have the luxury of enjoying a meal cooked for me by my lovely husband. Win-win if I’ve ever seen one!

If you’re looking for a filling meal that tastes indulgent, but still packs in nourishing veggies, you have to make this pasta!

Ingredients

  • 2 eggplants, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 12 oz grape or cherry tomatoes, whole (I like the multicolored pack!)
  • 1/4 red onion, sliced
  • 1 box of your favorite pasta (we usually use rotini) 
  • Vegan parmesan (or regular if you aren’t sensitive to dairy)
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Roasted garlic cloves, the more the merrier (or use garlic powder or minced garlic if you don’t have time to roast garlic) 
  • Salt, black pepper, oregano, basil and garlic powder, to taste

Directions

  1. Toss all the veggies in the extra virgin olive oil and seasonings.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the veggies on the sheet in a thin layer.
  3. Roast the veggies at 425 degrees fahrenheit for 15 – 20 minutes. 
  4. Then, broil the veggies  for an additional 3 minutes to finish.
  5. While the veggies are roasting, cook your pasta according to package instructions.
  6. Toss the pasta in olive oil and vegan parmesan. Smash some roasted garlic and mix into pasta well. Top with the roasted veggies and enjoy!
