I love this pasta and would happily eat it every week. It has so much flavour from the roasted vegetables and the tomato sauce brings it all together.
You can use left over roasted vegetables in this recipe if you have some. I use peppers, red onion, courgettes, cherry tomatoes and aubergine as they are traditionally Mediterranean vegetables and are delicious when roasted.
