Ingredients

  • 4 cups zucchini sliced into 1/4-inch half-moons
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion sliced
  • 2 tablespoons garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 16 ounces cavatappi pasta
  • 1 cup pasta cooking water
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a bowl, toss the sliced zucchini, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread everything out on a sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and just starting to brown at the edges.
  • While the vegetables are in the oven, cook the pasta according to the package directions for al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and return the pasta to the pot.
  • Add the roasted vegetables to the pot of cooked pasta. Stir in the reserved pasta water, basil and parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve warm.
