- Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
Dressing:2 tbls balsamic vinegar2 garlic cloves, pressed2 tsp dried oregano leaves1/2 tsp saltVegatables and Pasta:5 plum tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise1 medium eggplant (1 1/2 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch slices1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch slices1 large green bell pepper, seeded and cut into quarters1 large sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices1/4 cup olive or vegatable oil2 tbls snipped fresh parsley1 pound uncooked penne or rigatoni pastaGrated fresh parmesan cheese (optional)
1. For dressing, combine vinegar, pressed garlic, oregano and salt into a small bowl, whisk together and set aside.
2. Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium coals ( or you can sautee the vegatables over medium heat. If you are doing this in the pan, go ahead and cut the vegetables into bite size pieces right away). Prepare vegatables and brush with oil. Snip Parsley and set aside.

4. Place vegetables on grid of grill. Grill onion 10-12 minutes and tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini and bell pepper 6-8 minutes, uncovered, turning once. ( or like I said earlier, you can do this in a sautee pan!)
5. Remove vegetables from grill; cut into bite size pieces. Place vegetables in large colander; drizzle with dressing and mix gently.
6. Place pasta in large shallow pasta bowl or platter. Spoon vegetable mixture over warm pasta. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with parmesan cheese, if desired.
