Angel Hair With Roasted Vegetables and Red Wine Tomato Sauce

Roxygirl in Colorado's Note:

My daughter's personal favorite! Roasted garlic flavors the veggies and the sauce. Most of the work is done in the oven and it reheats great!

This was very tasty! I did not use the suggested veggies but it still turned out great. Instead of angel hair pasta I used rice noodles because that was all we had in the cupboard. Thanks for the recipe :)

This was very, very good. I served it at a casual dinner party for 8 and it was a big hit! The roasted veggies were a wonderful touch, and nice on top of the sauce instead of in the sauce. I made the sauce a few days in advance, marinated the veggies the night before and it came together quickly and easily. A few changes: apparently I can't read and I roasted 8 HEADS of garlic, not 8 cloves. That's a lot of garlic. I didn't use it all of course, but was very generous with the garlic! I added a lot more wine. Probably closer to a cup. A rich, full bodied red too, and it was fantastic. I used all red peppers, no yellow. Zucchini, no eggplant. I also sauteed a few hot italian sausages for the meat eaters, and served just the veggies to the vegetarian guests- I'm so impressed with this elegant meal that worked for vegetarians, one vegan and us three meat eaters. Oh, and i used rigatoni instead of angel hair, to give it a bit more body. Also added a can of tomato paste because I needed to stretch the sauce a bit, and a dash of sugar to cut the acidity from the paste. Definitely on my make-again list!
