One bite of this Balsamic Roasted Veggie and White Bean Pasta and you’ll want to make it all summer long! It’s LOADED with veggies in every bite and finished with pesto and white beans. Roasted zucchini, yellow squash, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red onion, mushrooms, peppers, and broccoli – SO good, and picky husband approved!
For the pasta, I used Delallo’s gluten-free fusilli, the best gluten-free pasta brand out there in my opinion! It has the perfect al dente texture when it’s cooked, it’s so good I use it all the time simply because I like the taste although none of use have issues with gluten. Of course, you could use whole wheat pasta instead if you prefer. Here’s a video to see how easy this is!
