Ingredients
  

12 oz. pasta (penne or fusilli works best)

1 medium zucchini, chopped

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium red onion, sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

6 cloves garlic, minced

4 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or a dairy-free alternative)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the veggies: In a large bowl, toss the chopped zucchini, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and broccoli florets with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until the vegetables are well coated.

      Roast the vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.

        Cook the pasta: While the vegetables roast, cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

          Combine and mix: In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add the drained pasta and the roasted vegetables. Toss everything together to combine.

            Add cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta mixture, stirring well until the cheese melts and evenly coats the pasta and vegetables. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

              Serve: Plate the Garlic Roasted Vegetable Pasta and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious creation!
