Pasta with roasted vegetables and feta cheese salad

This is a simple dish that I like to make during the warmer days. I like to eat this for lunch and any vegetable and pasta can be used for this.

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 servings

small aubergine, cut to into chunks

small courgette, cut into chunks

3 cups

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

In a large saucepan add the water on medium high heat bring to a boil. Once boiling add a good sprinkling of salt and then the pasta. Cook pasta as per the packet instructions.

Transfer vegetables onto a large baking tray. Spread the vegetables out and coat with more olive oil if needed. Tip: aubergine soaks the olive oil so more may be needed to coat them.

* Step 5

Place the vegetables into the oven for 25-30 minutes. Check the vegetables every 10 minutes and turn over to ensure even roasting.

Once the pasta is cooked to desired softness remove, turn off the heat and drain pasta and transfer back in saucepan. Add the olive oil to prevent the pasta from drying out. Set aside to let it cool down. Once cool transfer into a large mixing bowl.

* Step 8

Mix all of the ingredients together, taste and adjust if necessary (more olive oil, salt and pepper etc). Then add the feta cheese. Mix it to incorporate into the salad.
