pasta with roasted veggies

This is great if you have random veggies that you don't know what to do with, or if you want a super easy weeknight dinner.  If you have some spare veggies and some pasta, this is the recipe for you.

Prepare for gratuitous vegetable photographs.  Sorry.  They are just so pretty!

Chop up your veggies into fairly even sizes and lightly drizzle with olive oil and seasonings.  Roast for 30 minutes.

Check on them to make sure you take them out of your oven before they brown too much.
