Potluck- or party-worthy recipe: oven-roasted primavera pasta with pesto

Just tried out this new recipe and it was so delicious that I instantly said, "We need a dinner party or potluck or something so I can share this with other people and get compliments!"

Oven-roasted vegetable pasta primavera with pesto sauce

For 2 people. I tried to make one dinner's worth without leftovers, but overshot and had half a serving left over again. Then again, we eat a bit lightly, so this could be too little for another set of two adults...

Ingredients

• pasta for 2 (I use ~5 dl dry fusilli or conchiglione, which as stated is a little too much)


• juice of 1 lemon


• olive oil


• salt and ground black pepper


• pesto paste (recipe of your choice or store-bought is fine) - two heaping soup spoons, or about ½ deciliter or 1/3 cup


• ½ a regular zucchini


• 2 carrots


• 1 bell pepper


• 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
