Roasted Vegetable Pasta image

I have recently joined a "Biggest Loser" group in my town and one of our assignments for the week was to randomly pick a recipe from a stack of cards and make it for our family. I would definately recommend making this when the veggies are in season as it is expensive when they are not!! I also prefer to sprinkle mine with a little sea salt or parmesean cheese
