Ingredients
  

8 oz (225g) pasta of your choice (penne or fusilli work well)

2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion)

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large bowl.

      Season the Vegetables: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Toss until well-coated.

        Roast the Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through to ensure even roasting.

          Cook the Pasta: While the vegetables are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest.

            Make the Creamy Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Mix well until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.

              Combine Pasta and Veggies: Add the drained pasta to the creamy sauce and toss to coat. Gently fold in the roasted vegetables.

                Serve: Divide the creamy roasted veggie pasta among serving plates. Garnish with fresh basil and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

                  Enjoy your delicious creamy roasted veggie pasta as a wholesome and satisfying meal!
