WHOLE WHEAT PASTA PRIMAVERA
I love to find new and interesting vegetarian pasta dishes. The carmelized roasted vegetables in this dish add a really nice depth of flavor. This is a variation of a recipe I saw made on Giada DeLaurentis' "Every Day Italian". I like to try and use whole wheat pasta whenever I can in most of my pasta dishes. Not a BIG fan of zucchini, so I decided to substitute broccoli instead, cuz I LOVE it sooo much!. I also roasted a head of garlic in with the veggies, but that, of course, is optional. The original recipe added the cherry tomatoes in, UNROASTED, at the end. I did not read carefully enough, and roasted them right in the pan with everything else. They ended up being just fine roasted, but you may do either way. I catagorized this recipe under "vegan", but left in the grated cheese in as an option!
