Recipe View 6 mins While the vegetables are roasting, melt the remaining olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Add the cooked pasta, lemon zest, basil, and parsley to the skillet. Toss to combine and cook until heated through, about 3-5 minutes, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.

Recipe View 2 mins Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Add the roasted vegetables and gently toss to combine. Sprinkle with grated Romano cheese and serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the vegetables instead of roasting them.
Feel free to substitute other seasonal vegetables, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or sugar snap peas.
If you don't have Romano cheese, Parmesan cheese works well too.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving brightens up the flavors even more.
