Vegetables Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 small zucchini -- halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch slices 1 red or yellow bell pepper cut into 1/2-inch dice 1 small eggplant cut into 1/2-inch dice 4 plum tomatoes -- quartered 3 garlic cloves -- halved 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon dried basil 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 pound mostaccioli 1/2 cup Salsa Verde (see separate recipe) Serves 4 Roasting vegetable in a hot oven brings out their natural sweetness and adds a deep, rich flavor. I usually make this dish on a cold winter day so the heat of the oven can warm the kitchen as the fragrance of roasting vegetables permeates the house. Preheat the oven to 400F. Combine the zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant, tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil in a large baking dish and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the basil, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste, and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and slightly browned around the edges. When the vegetables are done, turn the oven off, and keep them warm in the oven. Cook the mostaccioli in a large pot of salted boiling water, stirring occasionally, until it is al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. When the pasta is cooked, drain it and place in a large serving bowl. Add the vegetables and salsa verde, and toss to combine. Serve immediately. Other pasta choices: Ziti or any tubular pasta. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
