FIRE ROASTED TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI VEGAN PASTA
This fantastic blend of fresh vegetables, fire roasted tomatoes and peppers, and pasta can be modified to include any seasonal vegetables. It's easy, healthy and delicious! You can find fire-roasted tomatoes and fire-roasted peppers at most grocery store olive bars, including Whole Foods. If you don't have access to these, you can make your own, substitute sun-dried tomatoes, or substitute fresh versions. The beautiful thing about veggies is that there's no "right" way to do things! You can also substitute basil or oregano paste or powder for the fresh version, if you need to - but fresh is best!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, toss zucchini and tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and stir to coat. Stir in balsamic vinegar, and add a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Spread veggie mixture out onto a baking sheet. Roast at 375 degrees for 30-45 minutes, or until you've reached your desired doneness (30 minutes will give you a more crisp-tender texture, while 45 minutes will give you some caramelization on the tomatoes that I like)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven broiler. Slice the zucchini on a sharp angle about 1/2-inch thick and place on a baking sheet lined with foil and nonstick cooking spray.

Bake until bubbly and hot, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle with the cheese and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

- Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a mandoline, be sure to use the guard to protect your fingers.
- Roast the zucchini at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and brown. If you are using a grill, be sure to preheat it to high before adding the zucchini.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: This will add flavor and color to the dish. If you are using fresh tomatoes, be sure to roast them before adding them to the zucchini.

- Serve the zucchini and tomatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and fresh. You can serve them as a side dish or as a main course with a side of bread or rice.
