Ingredients
  

12 oz whole wheat pasta (penne or fusilli)

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 medium bell pepper (any color), chopped

1 medium red onion, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the diced zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the veggies are well coated.

      Roast the Veggies: Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir once halfway through cooking for even roasting.

        Cook the Pasta: While the veggies are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.

          Combine and Serve: In the pot with the cooked pasta, add the roasted veggies. Toss everything gently to combine. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and further toss.

            Garnish: Serve the pasta bowls warm, garnishing each bowl with fresh basil leaves and an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired.

              Enjoy: Dig in and relish the delightful flavors of garlic-roasted veggies and wholesome pasta!
