This was the first of Melissa's recipe that I tried and my whole family loved it. Once the veggies have roasted its amazing to see how the wine, and roasted veggies come together to make the dish almost saucy. I actually liked it more once the dish had come to room temp. because I think you got to tast the depth of flavor packed in this dish. Melissa, you have made a fan out of me! IT was fairly simple to make as well. I could even see myself make this for a large gathering since it also looked very elegant.

Extremely delicious per multiple children. I have now made this dish twice in 3 weeks-the first exactly per the recipe, and the second using chicken and apple sausage and canned tomatoes. Both times, it came out delicious. I've already been asked to make it again!

We love this dish! Roasting the veggies give them great flavor. We made it the first time it aired and have been trying it with seasonal veggies throughout the year. When tomatoes are not in season we added a small can of drained diced tomatoes to the pan. A keeper for sure!

This recipe is deffinately a keeper. The roasted vegetables were so good that you could eat it just as a side dish if you wanted. The red peppers and sweet onions were nice and sweet with the mushrooms and zucchini. The roasted tomatoes popped open while cooking leaving the inside juice of the tomatoe to marinate over the other vegetable and pasta. Yum! I roasted the red peppers a little longer so I could take the skin off. Easy to make and a good change from your typical red sauce.

This was quick and easy. The whole family enjoyed it! This has lots of possibilities to use what you have on hand (substituting different veggies and meat. I've been looking for a new pasta recipe as a change from red sauce. This fits the bill!!

I am an excellent cook always trying new recipes. Have been a big fan Food Network for many years and never reviewed a recipe. This is absolutely the best recipe I have ever eaten whole family agreed. I love Melissa and think that she knows how to extract flavor from every ingredient. Extra flavor from the browning liquid extra flavor from roasting the vegetables make this a family favorite.

This dish was an instant hit in our house. We used three links of sweet Italian sausage, and I added half a stick of butter to the pan. I also pre-chopped the veggies before roasting to save myself time and had plenty of pan juices from the veggies and the tomatoes were perfectly roasted. My husband and step son have begged for this dish again already!!!

I made this the first time right after the show and generally thought it had potential, but we hated the tomatoes because of the somewhat slimy texture they had after roasting them. That being said... I was willing to try it again (eventually. Tonight, we finally did. I increased the sausage to 1 1/4 lbs and used sweet italian sausage, 2 peppers instead of 1 (1 yellow, 1 orange, and increased the mushrooms to a full pound. It was so much better the second time around. When I made it the first time I don't recall having very many pan juices from the vegetables, but with double the mushrooms I had a lot of pan juices and it really helped the flavor. The extra sausage and extra mushrooms gave it so much flavor that we didn't even add any of the cheese (which is a first for us!. I would make this just the same next time.
