Ingredients
- 1 sweet onion, cut into wedges
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced in 1/2 lengthwise
- 1 red bell pepper, cheeks removed
- 1/2 pound button mushrooms, stemmed
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 pint grape tomatoes, washed and dried
- 2 sweet or hot Italian sausages, thinly sliced or casings removed
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 12 ounces whole-grain penne, cooked according to package instructions, 1/2 cup pasta water reserved
- Freshly grated Parmesan, for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a bowl, toss all the vegetables, except the tomatoes, with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast, until caramelized, about 30 minutes, turning vegetables halfway through the cooking time. In a small bowl, add the tomatoes and the remaining olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add to the baking sheet, at the halfway point of cooking, to caramelize.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, add the sausage and saute until cooked through. Turn up the heat and deglaze with white wine. Once the vegetables are cooked, cool slightly, then coarsely chop. Add the vegetables and any pan juices to the sausage in the skillet. Toss in the cooked penne, adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to moisten. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve in bowls topped with Parmesan

Yummy! Simple! And surprisingly family friendly. My kids all loved it after the initial " what kind of vegetables are in this?". My only addition to recipe after reading the reviews was to add a TBSP of pesto. Gave a nice boost to the flavor. Another Melissa winner

We loved this simple recipe! I, like others, used 3 sausages. I also doubled the roasted veggies to use in tomorrow nights quesadillas. Delicious!

This was delish--the veggies had such a rich taste. Very easy to make and worth the time making it. Will definitely make this again.
