Why not chop up your veggies, mix them with a bit of olive oil and garlic and then roast them in the oven until chargrilled. Then add these to your pasta, with enough olive oil to coat your pasta. Salt and lots of black pepper. I'll have some when you've made it, if you don't mind yummm!Simple penne pasta recipes?
