Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz pasta (penne, rotini, or farfalle work beautifully)
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp Bodacious Regional Medium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
  • 2 tbsp Bodacious Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Cracked black pepper to taste
  • Optional: ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese or feta, fresh basil for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss zucchini, bell pepper, tomatoes, and red onion with 2 Tbsp Bodacious Regional Medium EVOO, salt, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast for 20–25 minutes until caramelized and tender.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain.
  • In a large bowl, combine warm pasta, roasted veggies, remaining 1 Tbsp Bodacious Regional Medium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and 2 Tbsp Bodacious Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic. Toss gently to coat, adding a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
  • Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temp. Garnish with goat cheese and fresh basil if desired.
