Chef's Note

For the best flavor, roast the vegetables until they develop a nice caramelization. The sauce can be made ahead and reheated, and the pasta dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to meld. For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan or use a plant-based alternative.

Ingredients
  • 12 ounces penne pasta

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes

  • 2 medium, diced zucchini

  • 2 medium, assorted colors, sliced bell peppers

  • 1 pounds, cut into 1-inch chunks Yukon gold potatoes

  • 1 medium, sliced red onion

  • 4 cloves, minced garlic

  • 2 sprigs (plus 2 teaspoons chopped) fresh rosemary

  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

  • 1/2 cup, chopped fresh parsley

  • 5 tablespoons, divided olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1/4 cup white wine

  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth

  • 1/2 cup, freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/4 cup, toasted pine nuts

  • 1 teaspoon, divided salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon, divided black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon (optional) red pepper flakes

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  • 2

    In a large bowl, toss potato chunks, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 2 whole rosemary sprigs. Spread on a large baking sheet.

  • 3

    Roast vegetables for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are tender and vegetables are caramelized.

  • 4

    While vegetables are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to boil for the pasta.

  • 5

    In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add half the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • 6

    Add the chopped rosemary, 1 tablespoon thyme, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest. Stir for 30 seconds.

  • 7

    Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

  • 8

    Add the vegetable broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.

  • 9

    Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

  • 10

    When vegetables are done, remove rosemary sprigs and transfer roasted vegetables to the skillet with the sauce.

  • 11

    Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss everything together. If the mixture seems dry, add some reserved pasta water, a little at a time.

  • 12

    Stir in lemon juice, remaining garlic, remaining thyme, and most of the parsley (reserve some for garnish).

  • 13

    Remove from heat and fold in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with remaining salt and pepper to taste.

  • 14

    Serve in bowls topped with toasted pine nuts, reserved parsley, and red pepper flakes if desired.
