Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, chopped zucchini, sliced red onion, and minced garlic.
- Drizzle with olive oil, and generously sprinkle dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Toss until well-coated.
- Spread the seasoned vegetable mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway.
- While the vegetables are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne pasta until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
- Once your pasta is cooked, reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water, then drain the rest and return pasta to the pot.
- Add the roasted vegetable mixture to the pot along with the grated Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and a drizzle of lemon juice. Toss gently.
- Add reserved pasta water little by little until you reach your desired sauce consistency. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately, garnishing with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Enjoy!
