  • 1 yellow squash, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
  • ½ red bell peppers, cut into matchsticks
  • ½ pint grape tomatoes
  • 1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 5 spears asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • ¼ cup olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup grated Romano cheese

    • Directions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes; drain.
  • Toss squash, zucchini, carrot, red bell pepper, tomatoes, green beans, and asparagus together in a bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning. Arrange vegetables on the lined baking sheet.
  • Roast vegetables in preheated oven until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Heat remaining olive oil and butter in a large skillet. Cook onion and garlic in hot oil until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix cooked pasta, lemon zest, basil, parsley, and balsamic vinegar into the onion mixture. Gently toss and cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with roasted vegetables and sprinkle with Romano cheese.
