Pasta perciatelli with roasted vegetables is a true embodiment of Italian gastronomy, combining simplicity and sophistication. Perciatelli, a type of thick spaghetti, perfectly holds the aromatic sauce made from roasted vegetables and a spicy garlic wine sauce with mustard. The light sweetness of carrots, the tenderness of zucchini and squash, and the freshness of basil create a harmonious bouquet of flavors. This recipe reflects Mediterranean traditions of using seasonal vegetables, making it not only delicious but also healthy. It is perfect as a standalone dish or as a light side to meat or fish. Thanks to the quick roasting, the vegetables remain juicy while the pasta is tender and infused with natural aromas. This dish is a celebration of flavor in every bite!
