Basil Roasted Vegetables over Couscous

People talking
For some reason, the smell of fresh basil reminds me of springtime. This simple recipes uses the herb to its full advantage. You can add other vegetables to your liking or even add tofu as I sometimes do. For WW Core folks, it's Core plus points for the cheese. If you want all core, try making a very stiff yogurt cheese instead.

This was a great vegetarian dinner! Easy to do and was ready in just under an hour - the balsamic & basil work so well with the goat cheese and fresh ground peppers, and the flavorful veggies pull the whole thing together! I couldn't find the basil-flavored goat cheese, but the plain worked just fine. We omitted the couscous since we were looking for a lighter dinner tonight and just ate the veggies - loved it! Made for Newest Zaar tag.Reply
