I roasted brocolli, asparagus, carrots, onion, red pepper, garlic, and mushrooms (add the mushrooms the last 10 minutes of roasting. At the end toss in the tomatoes and frozen baby peas (thawed. I also put red pepper flakes on the table for anyone who wanted a little extra boost. It was DELICIOUS!!

I was pretty disappointed with this recipe. I had high hopes after reviewing everyone's comments, especially with 5 star ratings. I felt that this dish was too bland. There needed to be another element. I roasted garlic, added extra black pepper, salt, and evoo; which made it better, but still not what it should be. For my first recipe cooking from Giada, I'm extremely disappointed. I think my pasta dishes that I throw together are far better than what this dish was.

Excellent dish!!! I added roasted garlic, asparagus, mushrooms, and roasted some corn in the husks then shaved it off the cob. I'm sure the origional recipe was great but the additions made it awsome!!!

AHHHHHHHH I would HIGHLY recommend this dish! wow...I just finished making it for tonights dinner and it was a major hit. The only thing i will do next time is make twice as much veggies. Serious, cause they shrunk down so small that it seemed like there was more pasta. This dish was so so so so good....you will NOT go wrong. I also made two chicken breasts just lightly pounded and seasoned with olive oil, kosher salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. I just grilled these on a pan about 4 min each side then sliced them into strips. It was killer! We are even thinking of inviting family over and repeating this one! LOVED IT!

This is absolutely delicious - and beautiful as well. I did cut up the veggies in the morning and stored them in a zip-lock bag as a time saver at dinnertime. I added garlic and celery. Will be making this dish often. Yum, yum, yum!

I loved this. It was so light and perfect for summer. I grilled some chicken and sliced it up and served it over top. I have to have meat. I also added asparagus to the vegetables and tossed it all together with a little more olive oil and some garlic spice. It was fantastic and one of my new favorite recipes.

Served this as a side for Easter this year. It was wonderful and easy! Made just as the recipe is written. I will definitely make this again- maybe add a touch of garlic and maybe some marinated artichokes or kalamata olives.

The roasted vegetables were perfect, so much better than cooked on the stove, and you can put just about anything you have. I added some portabellas, broccoli, and roasted tomatoes, because I had no cherry tomatoes. Wonderful vegetarian recipe, did not miss the meat!!

Made this today and felt it was rather bland and ho hum Hubby felt the same. May try it again with alterations to help it out: fire roast the veggies, homemade pasta, maybe some frozen/fresh peas, a little garlic, and less peppers (with this many it tastes like peppers and pasta, but will likely try another version off FN first.

First, my carnivore husband didn't seem to notice there was no meat in tonight's dinner... That alone is reason for 5 stars!
But that said, I did make some amendments to the recipe: 1 I added 1 lb. of Italian green beans- just thawed out a bag of frozen ones & tossed them in with the other veggies. 2 Added 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese at the end & didn't need any of the cooking liquid 3 Added 3/4 cup marinated mushrooms 4 Added a generous sprinkling of red pepper flakes and jarred minced garlic to the veggies (including the tomatoes, which I tossed on the pan with everything else when they were roasting. My veggies (the pans were really full did, however, roast for 40 minutes at 425/450 before I finally turned on the broiler to brown them a bit.
Without the changes it would have been fantastic. With them, it's a hearty meal suitable for any company. I can't wait for leftovers, which will undoubtedly be great at room temp as a pasta salad!
I was going to use my mandoline to julienne the veg but it really took no time at all and as cooked produced enough for at least 5 big eaters, maybe 6. I've made a lot of different primaveras and this is tops. I love Giada!
