A few years ago I started participating in a few local fresh produce programs.  I would receive the most amazing produce from them.  One week I got the freshest eggplant, tomatoes, and zucchini.

I immediately thought “PASTA DISH”.  So, I added some olive oil, garlic, and cheese and made this simple and incredible pasta dish.

The best part is that these fabulous vegetables are available all year long making this pasta dish a perfect summer, fall, winter, or spring dish!

Tomatoes, eggplant, and zucchini are slow-roasted to bring out the most incredible flavors and make this dish rich but still light at the same time.

It was so amazing that Munchkin and I ate this for 4 or 5 days.  It was even delicious reheated!  I know you will love it too!

Helpful Tips to make Roasted Vegetable Penne Pasta:

  • Adding the oil to the hot pasta helps it to absorb the flavor!

  1. This is so good. Today I added mushrooms instead of tomatoes and it was delish. Although it looks more colorful with tomatoes. This has become a family go to at least once a month.

  2. This was absolutely delicious! So simple and colorful. I added a bit of Pepperoni's seasoning and it took it to another level. Will definitely make this again! Thanks for the recipe.

    I’m making his tonight. Roasting veggies except eggplant which I’m not using. Making the pasta in the instant pot then adding the roasted veggies to pot and sauté it all together then adding cheese.
    Can’t wait.

    1. Absolutely, Aleisha! As long as the meat is cook, you can simply toss it in with the pasta and vegetables before serving. Enjoy!

    My BFF makes something similar using sun dried tomatoes in OVO. She oven roasts the veggies then tossed it with hot pasta and a jar of sun dried tomatoes then stirs in dollops of goat’s cheese. Delicious!
