2 large zucchini, ends trimmed, cut in half lengthwise and then crosswise into 1-inch half-moon pieces (about 12 ounces)
3 medium summer squash, ends trimmed, cut in half lengthwise and then crosswise into 1-inch half-moon pieces (about 12 ounces)
1/2 small cauliflower, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
2 medium carrots, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey or agave
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

For the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Place the pasta in a large serving bowl.
For the vegetables: Place an oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray. Arrange the zucchini, summer squash, cauliflower, carrots and garlic in a single layer. Drizzle with the olive oil and bake until light golden and tender, 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
For the vinaigrette: Whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
To assemble: Place the vegetables in the bowl. Add the pasta on top. Add the Parmesan on top so it sticks to the pasta and helps everything else stick. Toss the vegetables and pasta. Pour the vinaigrette over the pasta and toss. Add the prosciutto on top and do not toss until the pasta is cool.

Tips:

Choose firm and flavorful vegetables. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of vegetables, so choose ones that have a good flavor to start with. Some good options include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, onions, peppers, and sweet potatoes.
Toss the vegetables in olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize in the oven.
Roast the vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them to cook quickly and evenly. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
Roast the vegetables until they are tender and slightly browned. The exact cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetables you are using, but most will take about 20-30 minutes.
Add the roasted vegetables to your penne pasta and toss to coat. You can also add a sauce, such as a simple tomato sauce or a creamy pesto sauce.
Serve the penne with roasted vegetables immediately. This is a dish that is best enjoyed fresh.
