Ingredients:
3 carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips
2 medium zucchini or 1 large zucchini, cut into thin strips
2 yellow squash, cut into thin strips
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup Shallot Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and freshly ground black peppercorns
1 Tbl Herbes de Provence
1 pound penne
15 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Directions:
2 medium zucchini or 1 large zucchini, cut into thin strips
2 yellow squash, cut into thin strips
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup Shallot Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and freshly ground black peppercorns
1 Tbl Herbes de Provence
1 pound penne
15 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. On a large heavy baking sheet, toss all of the vegetables with the Shallot Extra Virgin Olive Oil, salt, pepper, and Herbes de Provence. Transfer half of the vegetable mixture to another heavy large baking sheet and arrange evenly over the baking sheets. Bake until the carrots are tender and the vegetables begin to brown, stirring after the first 10 minutes, about 20 minutes total.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
Toss the pasta with the vegetable mixtures in a large bowl to combine. Toss with the cherry tomatoes and enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve immediately.
