We’ve officially hit that part of summer when summer vegetables are everywhere you look. So a loaded pasta with just about every vegetable under the sun is the obvious answer!

All that summer produce sitting on your counter is begging for a use and this pasta is just the ticket!
Even better when you pile your own personal bowl with big chunks of creamy burrata and plenty fresh basil.
Pure summer bliss, y’all.

Choosing Your Vegetables
The best part about this pasta is that anything goes as far as the kind of veggies you want!
We use a simple mix of zucchini, summer squash, mushrooms, pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in this pasta. It provides SO much color and summer goodness!
If you’re not a fan of any of the veggies included in this recipe, it’s very easy to simply omit it, substitute a different vegetable, or increase the amount of another vegetable included in the recipe.
Tips for Perfect Roast Vegetables
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes – most of the vegetables in this recipe are cut to 1/2-in size which we found is perfect for a quick roasting.
- Roast vegetables at a high temperature – we find that 400F roasts the vegetables perfectly in 25-30 minutes.
- Use whole unpeeled garlic – toss the garlic cloves on top of the vegetables for easy roasting. Once the vegetables are done, simply slip the skin off and finely mince garlic.
- Use fresh basil – this adds an incredible pop of flavor to the pasta!
Recipe Variations
Try these ideas for a different twist on this pasta!
- Add protein – cooked chicken cubes, sausage, or bacon would be great meaty additions!
- Change up the vegetables – sweet corn, broccoli, carrots, green beans, or eggplant would all work as veggie substitutes. Note that you may have to adjust the cook time slightly.
- Pick a different cheese – fresh ricotta or mozzarella pearls would be a great substitute for the burrata.
- Try different herbs – try fresh oregano, chives, or parsley.
Serving Suggestions
This pasta goes incredibly well alongside any grilled protein! We recommend serving pasta in individual serving bowls with plenty of torn burrata and fresh basil nearby for topping.
The best part about this pasta is that it’s amazing served hot or warm! We love packing up leftovers for work lunches the next day.
The variety of tender roasted vegetables absolutely MAKES this pasta! It’s so pretty to look at, plus tastes even better to boot.
Pro tip: don’t skimp on the fresh burrata on top, just don’t do it.
