Hidden Veggie Pasta
Hidden vegetable pastas are one of our go-to meals when we want to cook a really easy and nutritious meal for the family. For this simple pasta, we roast the veggies until caramelised, then blend them into a gorgeous sauce, which our kids love.

Trim the top off the garlic bulb then add it to a large baking tray along with the onion, tomatoes, carrots and whole peppers. Drizzle all the veg with some olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then roast in the oven for 40 minutes.

Just before the veg is ready, cook the pasta in a pot of hot water for 10-12 minutes or until al dente. Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from the heat, drain the pasta and add it back to the pot.
