This is so delicious and easy to prepare.  I make this a lot, especially when I’m watching what I eat.  It’s delicious and filling without all the guilt you get with a lot of pasta dishes.


All you have to do is throw the vegetables in the oven and roast them in either olive oil or cooking spray, and when it’s done you just mash the garlic and mix in the pasta.  Add a little seasoning, fresh herbs, and some grated cheese and it’s done!


It’s a fuss-free dinner that the whole family with love!


My son absolutely hates almost every pasta sauce there is, but he loves this because it’s just vegetables (which he loves) and pasta (his very favorite thing).  He even eats the onions because they’re purple and he thinks they are something other than onions (shhh).
