• 2 tablespoons Vegan Mayonnaise (optional, but it helps round out all the flavors)

Directions

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and preheat oven to 175 degrees celsius. When water is boiling, add a liberal amount of salt to it and pour dry pasta in to cook.
• Whilst pasta is cooking, toss Sweet Potato with 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper. Scatter on a parchment lined baking sheet and pop into the oven to roast for 15-20 minutes or till tender.
• In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon Olive Oil and add minced Garlic, Broccoli, Zucchini, Red Pepper and Yellow Pepper to the pan. Season with a liberal amount of Salt and Pepper. Cook veggies for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Before turning the heat off, add sliced Red Onion to the pan and cook for a minute.
• Turn heat off and transfer Veggies into a large mixing bowl.
• Once the pasta is al dente, drain and add to the veggie filled mixing bowl.
• Add halved Cherry Tomatoes to pasta, along with your cooked Sweet Potato. Mix to combine.
• To prepare dressing, combine all ingredients in a jar, cover with a lid and shake well. Pour dressing onto pasta salad and stir well. Add Vegan Mayonnaise to the pasta salad and stir to incorporate.
• Check for seasoning and alter accordingly. This recipe can take quite a bit of seasoning so dont be shy. Serve warm, room temperature or even cold!
