Roast Mediterranean Vegetable Mafalde

By: Deborah

The vegetables end up beautifully roasted and full of flavour, with a slight warmth from cumin and chilli flakes. Combined with ribbons of pasta, it's a lovely summery vegetarian dish.

Ingredients

2 courgettes quartered lengthways, deseed then cut into chunks
2 peppers (any colours) deseeded and cut into chunks
1 red onion cut into slim wedges
3 large cloves garlic skins left on
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
300 g (10.6 oz) cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp fresh oregano leaves only or 1 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp cumin seeds
0.5 tsp dried chilli flakes
300 g (10.6 oz) mafalde pasta (see Notes)

Instructions

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss the courgettes, peppers, onion and garlic with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper in a large roasting tin or shallow baking dish. Roast for 10 minutes.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and oregano. Sprinkle over the cumin seeds and chilli flakes. Roast for another 20 minutes until the tomatoes start to burst and release juice. After 5 minutes, cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to the packet instructions, then drain in a colander.
Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and mash into the oil and juices in the baking dish, stirring it in. Toss the cooked mafalde through the roasted vegetables and serve.

Notes

Mafalde is a flat and wide, ribbon-shaped pasta that I buy from Amazon. Tagliatelle can be used as an alternative.
