Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz linguine pasta
  • 2 cups assorted bell peppers sliced (red, yellow, green, or orange)
  • 1 zucchini diced
  • 1 yellow squash diced
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • Mixing bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Wooden spoon or tongs

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat and Prep
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare the vegetables by slicing the bell peppers and red onion, dicing the zucchini and yellow squash, halving the cherry tomatoes, and mincing the garlic cloves finely.
Step 2: Toss and Roast the Vegetables
  1. In a large bowl, combine the bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Add the minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Toss everything to coat the vegetables evenly.
  2. Spread the veggies in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
Step 3: Cook the Linguine
  1. While the vegetables roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente (usually around 9-11 minutes). Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta in a colander.
Step 4: Combine Pasta and Roasted Vegetables
  1. Transfer the hot linguine to a large mixing bowl. Add the roasted vegetables and toss gently to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce and help everything meld together.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
  1. Serve the Roasted Vegetable Primavera Linguine warm, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs can add a lovely finishing touch.

Notes

  • Leftover pasta stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of water or olive oil.
  • Swap vegetables seasonally to keep the dish fresh and exciting.
  • Adding grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas makes this pasta a more complete meal.
