This pasta recipe calls for zucchini and bell peppers that get roasted in the oven, but if you have other leftover veggies on hand, like onions or mushrooms, feel free to throw those in too if you think they might complement the other ingredients. Toss with grape tomatoes, fresh rosemary, and garlic, and let it roast in the oven for 20 minutes until the veggies are super-tender and nicely browned. Then all you have left to do is combine those delicious veggies with the penne, rigatoni, or gemelli and top with some crumbled feta cheese. It's an impressive-looking, beautiful entrée that requires mostly hands-off cooking time, so it doesn't get much more convenient.
