Zucchini Pasta With Roasted Veggies And Yogurt Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, toss the zucchini and asparagus with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 20 minutes. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 more seconds. Increase the heat to medium high, add the tomatoes and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Meanwhile, add the linguine to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and add to the skillet with the sauce. Add the roasted vegetables and the reserved cooking water; toss to combine, then stir in the basil. Divide among bowls and top with more cheese.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425. Cover sheet pan with aluminum foil, place sliced peppers, onion and tomato on the pan and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper the vegetables and roast in oven for 30 minutes or until browned and soft. Place veggies in a bowl with a cover, or one to which plastic wrap will stick. Cover tightly for 5 minutes and then peel peppers and tomato. Chop into bite sized pieces, cover again and set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook linguine in boiling, salted water according to package directions.
• In a colander, drain the zucchini, squeezing to remove excess liquid. In a large non-stick skillet, saute zucchini in remaining oil for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic; saute 1-2 minutes longer or until zucchini is tender. Remove from heat. Drain linguine; stir into zucchini.
• In a large bowl, stir the cooled vegetables and any collected juices with the yogurt, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Add pasta/zucchini to bowl with other ingredients and toss to coat. Add a bit of pasta water to thin sauce if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley and a drizzle of finishing olive oil.
