ROASTED TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI PASTA

The roasting is an extra step that makes a world of difference in this recipe. I didn't use as much oil in this as the recipe states - using cooking spray on the roasting pan and on the vegetables worked very well to replace much of it. From Everyday Food Magazine March/April 2003

FIRE ROASTED TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI VEGAN PASTA



Fire Roasted Tomato and Zucchini Vegan Pasta image

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!
