Pasta salad with roasted vegetables & feta
Ingredients

- 1 eggplant, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into thick strips
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into thick strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thick strips

- 1/3 bunch fresh parsley, leaves only, roughly chopped
- 140 g feta cheese
- 10 g dried oregano
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Method
Slice the onion and cut the eggplant, zucchini, peppers and carrots lengthwise. Season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and arrange the vegetables on a baking tray.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 10’–15’, until tender and lightly golden.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in plenty of salted water according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse immediately under plenty of cold running water to stop the cooking process and maintain the ideal texture for the salad. Leave to drain thoroughly.
Once the roasted vegetables have cooled slightly, cut them into evenly sized cubes. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half or into thirds, depending on their size, and roughly chop the parsley leaves.
Salad Assembly
Transfer the pasta to a large salad bowl and add the roasted vegetables, cherry tomatoes, olives, spring onions and parsley.
Season with flaky sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and oregano. Drizzle with the red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil, then toss gently to combine.
Cut the feta into small cubes, add it to the salad and toss once more carefully until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Serve the salad chilled.
Cutting the vegetables into evenly sized pieces ensures a more attractive presentation and a balanced flavor in every bite.
For pasta salads, always rinse the pasta under plenty of cold running water. This stops the cooking process, prevents the pasta from overcooking and removes excess starch, keeping the salad light and the pasta perfectly separated.
