Ingredients:
2 pounds medium zucchini, trimmed, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds |
12 garlic cloves, peeled, halved |
8 large shallots, halved, thinly sliced |
7 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper |
2 1-pound boxes ziti, cooked, drained, 3/4 cup cooking liquid reserved |
1 cup chopped fresh basil, divided |
3/4 cup grated pecorino romano cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss zucchini, garlic, shallots, 5 tablespoons oil, and crushed red pepper in bowl. Spread on 2 large rimmed baking sheets; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast vegetables until tender, turning occasionally, 30 to 35 minutes.
2. Toss cooked pasta in large bowl with 1 tablespoon oil. Transfer half of pasta (8 cups) to another bowl; cool, stirring occasionally. Cover; chill (reserve for mac and cheese).
3. Place remaining pasta in large pot. Add roasted vegetables, 1/4 cup pasta cooking liquid, and 1 tablespoon oil; stir over medium heat until heated through. Add 3/4 cup basil and cheese.
