ROAST VEGGIE PASTA

- METHOD -

Pre-heat your oven to 200˚C. Pour the olive oil into a small saucepan and add the garlic cloves. Cook over very low heat for 5 minutes, then discard the garlic. Place the vegetables on two large baking trays lined with baking paper (it makes cleaning up easier). Drizzle with half of the olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle vegetables very generously with our Cape Herb & Spice Roast Veggie Seasoning and pop trays in the oven for 30-40 minutes to roast until veggies are soft and starting to caramelize. Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente. Place warm pasta in a large serving bowl and pour over remaining half of the garlic-flavoured olive oil. Toss to coat and adjust seasoning with salt and a generous grinding of black pepper. Add roast veggies to the fusilli, crumble over feta and tear over basil.
