Pasta with Roasted Summer Vegetables

 
Serves 4
4 medium/small size summer squash - sliced 1" thick crosswise, halved if large 
2 pints grape tomatoes (about 4 cups) 
2 medium red onions, halved and sliced 
1/2" thick 4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed 
1/4 cup olive oil coarse salt and ground pepper 
8 oz. short pasta (they recommend campanelle or fusilli but I used bow tie) 
2 tbsp. butter 
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese plus more for serving. 
1 cup torn fresh basil leaves 

  Preheat oven to 450. Divide squash, tomatoes, onions, and garlic between two large rimmed baking sheets. Drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Roast without tossing until tender and starting to brown, 30-40 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain, and return to pot. Add vegetables, butter, Parmesan, and basil to pasta; season with salt and pepper, and toss gently to combine. ENJOY!
