Roasting is one of our favorite fat-free cooking techniques and is a great way to intensify the flavor and sweetness of vegetables. In this recipe, onions, carrots, squash, and garlic are roasted until they're nicely browned and tender, which takes 30 minutes of hands-off cook time. The roasted veggies are nicely complemented by egg noodles that are tossed in a sauce made of sour cream, vegetable broth, ground cinnamon and ginger, and a touch of red pepper flakes for a little heat. The noodles and veggies are all topped off with some fresh parsley for color and brightness just before serving.
