Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Thinly slice the capsicum. Slice the zucchini into half-moons. Slice the red onion into thick wedges. Place the capsicum, zucchini and onion on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and roast until tender, 18-20 minutes.

While the veggies are roasting, cook the penne in the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until 'al dente', 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water then drain the pasta and return it to the pan.

TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

While the pasta is cooking, finely chop the garlic. Pick and thinly slice the basil leaves.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the garlic and tomato paste until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes with garlic & olive oil and some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people /1/2 for 4 people) and stir to combine.

Add the vegetable stock pot to the sauce and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened, 2-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the roasted veggies, red pesto, baby spinach, shredded Cheddar cheese and cooked penne. Season to taste.

TIP: Add another splash of pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
