I made this last night for Anna Banana and Uncle David. I really liked it. I would probably do less noodles next time, just because I like the veggies better. You really could do all veggies and no noodles. I also will probably wait until the summer to make it again so I have my own parsley and basil to use which will be a lot cheaper.
- 2 cups uncooked macaroni or rotini pasta
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into wedges
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced into wedges
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into wedges
- 1 red onion, thickly sliced into semi-circles
- 1 zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into half-moons
- 1 eggplant, quartered lengthwise and sliced
- 1 cup whole cherry tomatoes, halved
- 5 oz soft goat cheese, crumbled
VINAIGRETTE
- 1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 tsp each sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf or Italian parsley
- 1/2 packed cup whole fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup verjus I didn't use this, since I didn't want to buy it. I subbed with Red wine Vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Rinse under cold water to remove sticky starches; drain well and set aside.
- Mist a baking sheet with cooking spray and add peppers and onion in a single layer. Roast in oven until just browned but not soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer peppers and onion to a large bowl. Repeat with zucchini and eggplant in a single layer, then tomatoes; once roasted, add to bowl with peppers and onion.
- Stir vinaigrette ingredients in separate bowl.
- Add pasta and vinaigrette to bowl with vegetables and toss well to coat evenly. Top with cheese and serve.
