Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 232°C (450°F). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the prepared carrots, zucchini, onion, yellow bell pepper, and red bell pepper evenly on the two baking sheets. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, ground black pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Toss well to coat. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Meanwhile, cook the farfalle pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of boiling, salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with ice-cold water to achieve a tender, chewy texture. Set aside, and reserve some pasta water.
  • Combine the baked vegetables, cherry tomatoes, and farfalle pasta in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Toss well with grated Parmesan cheese and 1 to 2 tablespoons of reserved pasta water. Serve immediately.
