This is one of my favorite pasta dishes. The balsamic marinade adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the vegetables and pasta. I often serve this dish with a side of grilled chicken or fish.

I'm not a big fan of balsamic vinegar, but I really enjoyed this dish. The marinade mellowed out the vinegar's sharpness and created a really flavorful sauce. I'll definitely be making this again!
