Ingredients

4 medium carrots, sliced
2 medium zucchini, coarsely chopped (about 3 cups)
1-2/3 cups cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
8 ounces uncooked rigatoni or whole wheat rigatoni
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Combine carrots, zucchini and tomatoes in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Whisk together next 6 ingredients; reserve half. Drizzle remaining balsamic mixture over vegetables; toss to coat. Bake until carrots are crisp-tender, 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook rigatoni according to package directions; drain. Toss rigatoni with roasted vegetables, pan juices and reserved balsamic mixture. Sprinkle with cheese.

Test Kitchen Tips

If your garden is overflowing with large tomatoes, use 2, cut into chunks, in place of the cherry tomatoes.

Don't be afraid to sprinkle additional fresh herbs just before serving. You'll be amazed at how they can perk up a dish.
