Description

Directions

• Put a large pot of water on the stove to boil for the pasta. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Spray 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray. Spread squash and peppers into the pans (no need to separate the squash from the peppers) in a single layer. Give each pan of veggies a light spray with the cooking spray, then season with the rosemary, black pepper and a light amount of salt. Bake 35 - 40 minutes giving them a stir once or twice while they cook.
• Put the goat cheese in the freezer.
• Meanwhile, cook your pasta until its al dente. Before you drain, reserve 3/4 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain. Return to the pot. Add 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, olive oil, the garlic and a pinch of salt, mix well. Cover.
• While pasta is cooking, put whole wheat panko (or regular w/w breadcrumbs) on a plate and remove goat cheese from freezer. Cut each log into 6 slices, then dredge each slice in the whole wheat panko. Place on a small baking sheet, then give them a light spray with the cooking spray. If youve already pulled your veggies out of the oven, then put your tray of goat cheese rounds in to bake for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. {If your veggies are still in the oven, the just stick your goat cheese tray in the fridge until they come out.}
• To serve: to each plate, arrange 3/4 cup of pasta, 1/2 cup of veggies and 2 rounds of crispy goat cheese. Sprinkle with some extra rosemary if youd like. Enjoy!
