    What is garbage pasta? Fettuccine pasta tossed with roasted, caramelized carrots and tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, and fresh Parmesan. It’s a simple meal, easy to throw together on a busy night, but the flavors and textures have surprising depth. I first ate this delicious vegetable pasta dish

    at the home of dear friends Jim and Cathy in Orlando. They affectionately called it “garbage pasta” perhaps for the eclectic mixture of shapes and colors! But I promise it tastes nothing like garbage!

    Thinly slice carrots

    These are the best roasted carrots. The roasting is done in the oven and is so simple. Just slice tomatoes, then peel and thinly slice carrots. Next,  gently toss the veggies with olive oil. Caution: don't put all those carrot peelings down your garbage disposal. Instead, add them to your compost pile or throw in the waste basket.

    Sheet pan dinner

    Spread tomatoes and carrots on foil covered sheet pans. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the tomato slices, then broil veggies just until carrots begin to caramelize.

    Healthy pasta

    Cook the pasta, then toss with veggies and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. These Parmesan roasted carrots and tomatoes will not only give you a tasty dinner, but a healthy meal that's brimming with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, potassium, Vitamin K, antioxidants and Vitamin B6. Delish!

    This is a vegetarian recipe, but you could easily add chicken or another protein. Fettuccine with roasted carrots & tomatoes (aka Garbage Pasta) is a favorite pasta recipe for us. We hope you’ll like it too.

    Enjoy!
