Yield 2 servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 pound penne pasta
2 small zucchini, quartered lengthwise, cut into 2-inch strips
1 medium-size red bell pepper, cut into 2x1/2-inch strips
1/2 cup bottled balsamic vinaigrette
1/2 cup crumbled garlic-and-herb feta cheese (about 2 ounces)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Cook pasta in pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta and place in large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, combine zucchini and bell pepper in medium bowl. Add 3 tablespoons vinaigrette and toss to coat. Arrange vegetables on broiler pan; sprinkle with pepper. Broil vegetables until just tender and beginning to brown, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
  • Add vegetables to bowl with pasta. Mix in remaining vinaigrette, cheese and mint. Season with salt and pepper.
