Cooking Steps
• Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Thinly slice the capsicum. Thinly slice the zucchini into half-moons. Slice the red onion into thick wedges. • Place the prepped veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with diced bacon. Toss to coat and roast until tender, 18-20 minutes.
• While the veggies are roasting, cook penne in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until 'al dente', 10 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people), 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 garlic.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add diced tomatoes with garlic & olive oil, the butter and some pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people), stirring to combine.
• Add vegetable stock pot to the sauce and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened, 2-4 minutes. • Remove from the heat and stir in the roasted veggies and bacon, red pesto, baby spinach, Cheddar cheese and cooked penne. Season to taste.
TIP: Add another splash of pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
• Divide the roasted veggies, bacon and red pesto penne between bowls. Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese and tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
