Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- On a large heavy baking sheet, toss all of the vegetables with the oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs to coat. Transfer half of the vegetable mixture to another heavy large baking sheet and arrange evenly over the baking sheets. Bake until the carrots are tender and the vegetables begin to brown, stirring after the first 10 minutes, about 20 minutes total.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Toss the pasta with the vegetable mixtures in a large bowl to combine. Toss with the cherry tomatoes and enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve immediately.

CREAMLESS PENNE PASTA PRIMAVERA WITH OLIVE OIL AND GARLIC
Entered for safe-keeping. I am searching for a recipe closest to the creamless pasta primavera that used to lure me to a local restaurant (until the chef left). This version by Chef George Krumov seems very close. For non-vegetarians, make this a complete meal by adding (per person) 1 grilled chicken breast cut into 1-1/2-inch long strips or 1/4 pound cooked shelled shrimp (31-40 count/pound).

Steps:
- Bring 4 quarts of water with 2 tablespoons salt to a boil in a large pot and cook dry penne pasta to desired doneness per package directions. (Only 2.8 quarts -- 2.5 liters -- of water are required, but with the smaller amount of water, it would take longer for the water to return to a boil once the pasta is added.).
- Meanwhile, precook broccoli florets and carrots. If boiling in water, boil for 3-5 minutes and check for doneness with fork. Otherwise, vegetables can be steamed. Once cooked, transfer vegetables to ice water to halt cooking and preserve bright color, then drain. Set aside until step 4.
- In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil 1 minute or until hot and saute the onion and garlic until lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
- Add the vegetables and saute until the peppers are soft, about 2 minutes.
- Deglaze with the beef broth, if using, or just a splash (1 fluid ounce) of dry white wine.
- Add the drained penne noodles and basil and season to taste.
- Toss well and serve immediately with some freshly grated Parmesan or Grana di Padano cheese on the side.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality vegetables for the best flavor.
- Blanch the vegetables briefly to preserve their color and texture.
- Use a large skillet or pot to cook the pasta and vegetables so they have plenty of room.
- Add the prosciutto and peas towards the end of cooking so they don't overcook.
- Season the pasta primavera to taste with salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve the pasta primavera immediately, garnished with fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
Conclusion:
Pasta primavera is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its vibrant colors and fresh flavors, pasta primavera is a surefire hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give pasta primavera a try.
