Pasta with Roasted Vegetables & Lentils

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
2. Place all of the prepared vegetables onto a roasting tray. Sprinkle over the herbs then add half of the oil and all the balsamic vinegar. Lightly mix, season well, then place into the oven for 25 minutes.
3. Stir in the lentils and place back into the oven for another 10 minutes. At this point, cook the pasta.
4. When the pasta is cooked, drain and carefully tip onto the roasted vegetables. Lightly stir and serve straight away.
5. Serve each portion with a little drizzle of the remaining olive oil. You might top with a sprinkle of vegan cheese or nutritional yeast.
