Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Preheat a large stainless steel skillet or a large baking sheet in the oven. If using a baking sheet, you may want to line with parchment paper just before adding vegetables.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper, and stir.
  3. Add the carrots and onions to the mixing bowl, mix well, then transfer to hot skillet. Return skillet to oven for 10 minutes.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper, and stir. Add zucchini and tomatoes and mix.
  5. Remove hot skillet from oven, stir carrots and onions, then add the zucchini and tomatoes. Return hot skillet to oven for 20-30 minutes.
  6. While vegetables are roasting, prepare sauce In the large mixing bowl. Combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the sherry vinegar, garlic, herbes de Provence, thyme, 1⁄4 teaspoon salt, and several grinds of black pepper.
  7. Using the directions on the package, start cooking the pasta so it will finish shortly after the vegetables are due to be done.
  8. When vegetables are golden brown around the edges and the tomatoes are lightly bursting, remove from oven and add to mixing bowl with sauce.
  9. When pasta is done to your liking, drain and transfer to the large bowl with the roasted vegetables and toss to coat.
  10. Add the feta, basil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes and gently toss. Season to taste with more salt, pepper, and lemon juice, as desired.
  11. Garnish with more fresh basil and generous drizzles of olive oil.
