Roasted Veggie Pasta
For a quick and easy meal, toss your favorite veggies with olive oil on a sheet pan and roast at high heat. Load them up with spices, onions and garlic. Cook your pasta while the veggies are roasting so it all comes together at the same time. Add a bit of grilled chicken or chicken sausage if you are looking for additional protein. Top it with cheese and dinner is done.
