Tips

If you have the time and resources, consider making fresh pasta from scratch, but store-bought tagliatelle works well too.
Look for good-quality olive oil, tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.
To ensure even cooking, slice your vegetables into uniform pieces. Aim for bite-sized or slightly larger pieces. This will help the vegetables roast evenly and prevent some from overcooking while others are undercooked.
Season your sauce and pasta generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Proper seasoning is key to bringing out the flavors.
After cooking the tagliatelle until al dente, toss it in the tomato sauce. This ensures the pasta absorbs the flavors of the sauce.
If you're enjoying this dish with wine, consider a red wine from Tuscany, like Chianti or Sangiovese, to complement the flavors.
Feel free to add other ingredients like toasted pine nuts, capers, or grated lemon zest for extra flavor and texture.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in a pan with a little olive oil or in the microwave, but keep in mind that the texture of the roasted veggies may change upon reheating.
