Vegetarian dish. Found this in a celebrity cookbook - Pierce Brosnan submitted it, and I tweaked it just a little bit to suit the dietary needs of the people I was cooking for.
Ingredients:
3 carrots, peeled
1 large zucchini
2 summer squash
2 cups mushrooms
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon dried italian herb seasoning
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 lb orzo pasta
20 cherry tomatoes, halved
3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Cut carrots, zucchini and squash into two-inch strips.
3. Toss on large foil-lined baking pan with oil, onion, salt, and pepper to coat, then transfer half to another baking sheet.
4. Arrange vegetables in a single layer on each pan.
5. Bake 20 minutes, stirring after first 10 minutes.
6. Cook pasta in boiling water about 9 minutes, drain and reserve 1 cup of cooking liquid.
7. Toss pasta in large bowl with cooked vegetables.
8. Add cherry tomatoes and enough cooking liquid (1/4 cup at a time) to moisten.
9. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
