1
- Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.

- 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.

- Half-fill a large saucepan with boiled water, add a generous pinch of salt.
- Cook penne in boiling water over high heat until 'al dente', 12 minutes.
- Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people).
- Drain penne, then return to the saucepan.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
3
- Roughy chop brie. Finely chop garlic.
- Cut bacon into 1cm pieces.
4
- While the pasta is cooking, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook bacon until golden, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and tomato & herb seasoning, cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to medium, add passata, reserved pasta water, the brown sugar and the butter, and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
5
- Preheat the grill to high.
- Remove pan from heat, stir through roasted veggies and cooked pasta. Season to taste.
- Transfer pasta to a baking dish. Evenly top with sliced brie and bake until cheese is melted and golden, 8-12 minutes.
