Spinach Fettuccine With Roasted Veggies

Submitted by DinnerDiva in OK

"This is one of my favorite summer time pasta dishes. It's light and healthy and has all of my favorite veggies. It is also very adaptable to your personal favorites, or what you have on hand. Can be served as a side dish or add sliced grilled chicken breast to make more of a meal ( would probably serve 4 that way). Roasted red peppers and sun-dried tomatoes are a nice alternate veggies to add."

This sounded so scrumptious, I had to give it a try. And I was NOT disappointed. I didn't have any spinach fettuccine, so I used regular fettuccine, and I think it turned out fantastic. The roasted vegetables really blend well together in this dish. I did need lots of salt and pepper, but that is such an easy fix. But this dish is so simple to prepare, tasty, and something I will make again. Thanks DinnerDiva in OK.
