Pasta with Roasted Vegetables and Feta
Ingredients
- 1 pound Linguine pasta
- 4 medium zucchini cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil plus extra for roasting veggies
- 3 medium onions chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 12-oz. jar roasted peppers drained and diced
- 18 Kalamata olives sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold water; drain again.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Lightly grease 2 large cookie sheets. Spread zucchini on the sheets and sprinkle with vegetable oil (don’t substitute with olive oil, as olive oil will burn at such a high temperature).
- Bake until tender-crisp.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; add onion and garlic and sauté until onion is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the zucchini and stir in the roasted peppers, olives, crushed red pepper flakes and cooked pasta; season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with Feta cheese and serve.
