Grilled Vegetable Pasta
Nothing beats grilled vegetables so today we're going to do a simple and fresh hearty grilled vegetable and chicken pasta.
Ingredients in order of appearance: -
-
Whatever vegetables, I used: -
-
2 courgettes
-
3 bell peppers
-
onions
-
spring onions
-
garlic
-
-
2 chicken breasts roughly chopped ( optional )
-
1 onion sliced
-
2-3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
-
Pasta
Grab whatever vegetables you want really.
Chop them all up, stick them in a deep oven tray, season, add lots of olive oil and mix together. Preheat the oven to around 200 C and cook for 25 minutes or until the vegetables start to brown on top.
I like to give them a stir and cook for another 15 minutes so they get an all over tan.
While the vegetables are browning, if you're using chicken now is the time to fry it.
You should fry in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Fry it on high to seal in the flavour.
Leave the fried chicken on the side and we'll come back to it.
Now throw on that pasta, I used fettuccine because it looks nice with this dish.
Undercook it by a couple of minutes, drain and leave to the side.
OK, so now we're going to start combining stuff as the vegetables should be almost ready, the chicken is ready and the pasta has just come off.
Sautee the sliced onions, add the finely chopped garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Now, throw in the grilled vegetables and the chicken if using.
Throw the pasta in as well and combine everything. Throw in more olive oil, can't hurt :)
This is why we undercooked the pasta as it will cook a little while its sitting and we'll cook it a little more when we're combining everything.
That's it, yep this one was a lot of juggling so sit and enjoy your creation.
