Recipe
Linguine with Roasted Romanesco
Busy schedules don’t always allow time for making from-scratch meals. Here’s a quick, easy and delicious weeknight fix. I whipped this up in about 30 minutes using veggies I picked up from the market. I let the oven do most of the work! While waiting for my pasta water to come to boil, I prepped the veggies, tossed with salt, pepper, and marjoram and then threw them in a 350-degree oven. By the time the pasta was ready so were the veggies! Then just toss your veg and pasta together with olive oil and manga! Here’s what I put in the mix:
- Romanesco cauliflower
- Thinly sliced Meyer lemon
- Oil-cured olives
- Tomato
- Sweet peppers
- Onion
- Green garlic
This recipe is easily amended for seasonality so feel free interchange ingredients. Roasting times may vary depending on ingredients and switch up the pasta to keep it interesting! - Allegro Hopkins, Market Coordinator
