Equipment
- Pasta Pot
- Large Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 225 grams pasta a short shape like fusilli
- 1 medium aubergine or eggplant cut in chunks
- 1 medium courgette halved and sliced
- 1 red or yellow bell pepper cut in chunks
- 100 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 red onion sliced into wedges
- 5 garlic cloves peeled and roughly chopped
- 100 grams feta
- 1 400 grams tin white beans drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp Italian seasoning or oregano
- Salt and pepper
Dressing
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey or sugar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ¼ tsp salt
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Add the aubergine, courgette, pepper, cherry tomatoes and red onion to a baking sheet and season generously with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Roughly chop the garlic and scatter over the veg.
- Drizzle with oil, toss everything together then roast for 20-25 minutes until beginning to brown. You want the veg to be tender but still have a nice bite.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to packet instructions and drain. Rinse with cold water to stop from cooking. (if making well ahead of the veg, drizzle with a little oil to stop it from sticking together.)
- Add the cooked pasta and vegetables to a large bowl and toss together.
- Add the herbs and feta then pour over the dressing and mix well. This is best done when the vegetables are still warm from the oven, but you can then allow everything to cool and serve at room temperature.
