kcalIngredients
1 large head fennel, quartered, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 mild chiles, such as Anaheim, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 pound cherry tomatoes
2 small red onions, sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt, to taste
10 ounces whole-wheat linguine
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
3/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Directions
- Roast the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, toss the fennel, chiles, cherry tomatoes, and red onions with 4 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Season with coarse salt. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
- Cook the linguine: While the vegetables are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole-wheat linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- Combine pasta and vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the roasted vegetables and stir in the cooked linguine, tossing to coat. If the mixture is too dry, gradually add the reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
- Finish with Parmesan and basil: Stir in the 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. Toss everything together until well combined.
- Serve: Divide the pasta among plates and top with additional Parmesan cheese. Serve warm and enjoy!
