Cooking Steps

Get prepped & roast the veggies
1
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. 
  • Roughly chop capsicum and zucchini into bite-sized chunks. Slice brown onion into wedges. 
  • Place capsicum, zucchini and onion on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. 
  • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. 

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.

  • Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people).
