Roasted Zucchini and Tomato Pasta


This is perfect for the end of summer, when your
garden is full. Megan Bradley

2 1/2 pounds zucchini, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch
pieces
1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes, cut into 3/4-inch
chunks
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 pound long fusilli or linquine
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for
serving



Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking
sheet,
toss the zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, 5 tablespoons
oil, salt, and
pepper, spread into a single layer, and roast until
the
vegetables are cooked through and the zucchini is
beginning
to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add
salt and
pasta, and cook until al dente according to package
directions, about 12 minutes. Drain pasta and
transfer to a
large bowl.
Remove vegetables from oven and add to pasta.
Toss to
combine. Add basil and cheese. Toss to combine.
Serve
immediately. Pass additional cheese on the side.
