Ingredients:

  • 0.50 lb Gluten-Free Pasta whole grain rotini or fusilli or penne pasta
  • 2 c Cherry Tomatoes
  • 10 oz Yellow Squash 2 medium, quartered vertically and then sliced into ¼-inch wide wedges
  • 5 oz Zucchini 1 medium, quartered vertically and then sliced into ¼-inch wide wedges
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 0.50 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 oz Goat Cheese
  • 1 clove Garlic minced or pressed
  • 0.25 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Basil chopped

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • On the baking sheet, toss the whole cherry tomatoes and sliced zucchini and squash with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper and arrange in a single layer (or as close to a single layer as possible).
  • Roast for about 25 minutes, tossing halfway, until the cherry tomatoes have burst and the squash is tender.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta until al dente, according to package directions.
  • Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
  • While the pasta is hot, add the lemon juice, butter, goat cheese, garlic and red pepper flakes to the pot.
  • Add about ¼ cup of the reserved pasta cooking water and gently toss the pasta until the ingredients are evenly mixed together and the pasta is coated in a light sauce (add more reserved cooking water if the pasta seems dry).
  • Once the tomatoes and squash are out of the oven, add them to the pot along with all of the tomato juices.
  • Gently toss once again to combine. Season to taste with salt (I added more than ½ teaspoon) and freshly ground pepper, then sprinkle chopped basil over the pasta and divide into individual serving bowls. Serve immediately.
