After going through a round of gruelling interviews, I decided to treat myself to a Roasted Veggie Pasta. While chopping the veggies is takes some effort, the cooking process is real easy and the results never fail to tantalize my taste buds. Really yummy comfort food =)

Actually, I kind of ripped this recipe of Ben but I've added a few things here and there to make it my own. So to make this yummy pasta dish you'll need ...

• Sundried Tomatoes in Oil ( from Cold Storage or Jason's Supermarket)
• Cherry tomatoes
• Broccoli
• Baby carrots, roughly chopped into chunks
• Thinly sliced red onio
• A clove or two of garlic all chopped up
• Fresh Button Mushrooms
• Fresh Buffalo Mozzarella
• Eggplant
• Freshly chopped Basil
• Sliced Red and Yellow Peppers
• Pasta ( I always use fusilli)

Once you have all the ingredients, it's all so simple. Preheat the oven to 180 degress. Place your peppers, carrots, onions, garlic, basil, and a tablespoon or two of the sundried tomato oil, which carries the sweet flavor of the tomatoes and the fragrance of various herbs. A dash of salt, a dash of ground black pepper, toss it all around and put it in the oven for about 15 to 30 minutes.

At the same time, start slicing your mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, and chopping your egg plant. Never throw away the stock of the mushroom. You'll find that by adding it into the dish, it provides a nice chewy texture. Boil your pasta in boiling salt water and when the pasta is almost cooked, throw in your broccoli flowerets, count to thirty , remove from the heat and get rid of the water.

Five minutes before you want your roasting to be done, throw in the sundried tomatoes, eggplant and mushrooms. Once they are tender, remove the veggies from the oven, add the pasta and broccoli and toss it around so that the pasta is evenly coasted with veggie juices and the flavored oil. I always add chilli flakes at this point ;)

Finally, cut cherry tomatoes into quarters and either slice or break apart your buffalo mozzarella. Once the pasta and veggies are cooled, add the cherry tomatoes and cheese, toss it around and you are ready to serve.

Not luxurious but definitely a heartwarming and comforting dish. Enjoy!
