Pasta Ingredients

  • 1/2 Head of Cauliflower cut into small florets
  • 1/2 Onion diced
  • 2-3 Garlic Cloves sliced
  • 3 Carrots peeled & sliced
  • 8 Asparagus Spears cleaned & cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Handful of Grape Tomatoes
  • 2 T. EVOO
  • 1 t. Dried Basil
  • 1/2 t. Turmeric
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1 package Gluten Free Pasta or your favorite pasta
  • 2 T. EVOO
  • Juice of Half a Lemon

Topping Ideas:

  • Freshly Grated Parmesan omit for dairy free option
  • Fresh Basil
  • Lemon Zest
  • Freshly Ground Pepper
  • Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and then prep all of the veggies.
  •  
  • For the veggies: In a large bowl add the cauliflower, onion, garlic, carrots, asparagus, and tomatoes and then coat well with EVOO, dried basil, turmeric, and salt and pepper. Then place in single layer on a Silpat lined baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes.
  •  
  • For the pasta: While the veggies roasted, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Then cook the pasta according to package instructions. Once it’s al dente (be sure to taste it), then drain it, rinse it with cold water, and toss with a little EVOO so it doesn’t stick together.
  •  
  • Finished dish: Put the pasta back in the empty pot along with the roasted garlic, 2 T. EVOO, and the juice of half a lemon. Toss and then serve right away topped with your favorite ingredients and enjoy!
