Roast Vegetable Pasta
This gorgeously fresh pasta sauce is full of flavour brought out by the roasting. While it isn't a "quick" recipe, most of the time taken is hands-off cooking time. If you love the flavour of this one, you can easily double the recipe to make more sauce.
Recipe Tester Feedback: “Don't be put off by the cook time on this one. It's so simple to make, and there's not much actual hands-on time at all. My kids are looking forward to this in their travel mugs for school lunches tomorrow." - Terri
