- 9 ounces cherry tomatoes halved
- We Olive EVOO or cooking
- 10.5 ounces penne pasta dried
- 2/3 cup pesto Bella Cucina Porcini & Parmesan Pesto

- Line 2 to 3 large baking trays with baking paper and scatter all of the vegetables except the tomatoes over the baking trays in a single layer.
- Drizzle with a little olive oil, then toss well with your hands. Sprinkle with plenty of salt and pepper, then roast for 15 minutes.

- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions (8 to 10 minutes).
- Drain the pasta and tip it into a large bowl. Tip in the vegetables and stir through the pesto and yogurt (if using).
