Directions

PLACE rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 450°F. Coat roasting pan or baking sheet with sides with cooking spray.

ADD vegetables and garlic cloves. Drizzle with oil, tossing to coat.

ROAST until vegetables are lightly browned and tender, stirring occasionally, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove garlic cloves and mash into paste; stir back into vegetables.

COOK pasta, according to package directions. When done, remove ½ cup cooking water from pot and set aside. Drain pasta well and return to pot.

ADD roasted vegetables, basil, reduced fat cheddar, salt and pepper. Toss together, adding enough of reserved cooking water to moisten.
