Roasted Veggies with Pasta and Kielbasa

Slice and chop veggies into chunks. Slice kielbasa into 1/4 inch rounds. Place cut veggies and sausage in a 9×13 pan or rimmed cookie sheet. Sprinkle herbs and spices over veggies and sausage. Sprinkle with a good dose of extra virgin olive oil and give the whole thing a good toss. Place in the oven and let it roast for an hour or so, stirring a few times throughout the cooking process. When veggies are nicely roasted and the sausage has crisped a bit, remove from the oven. Mix in the COOKED penne pasta and toss. Add a little more olive oil, if desired. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Dish it up and enjoy with some good French bread.

Serves 4 – 6.

If you’re not a fan of kielbasa, you can substitute COOKED chicken breast instead. Just be sure to add the cooked chicken with the pasta, AFTER you’ve roasted the veggies.
