Ingredients
-
1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise
-
1 red sweet pepper, stemmed, seeded, and quartered
-
½ small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
-
½ pound asparagus, trimmed
-
3 tablespoon olive oil
-
4 cup cooked whole grain rotini pasta
-
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
2 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
-
Shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
-
Lightly brush vegetables with 1 tablespoon of the oil. For a charcoal grill, place vegetables on the rack of the grill over medium-hot coals. Cover and grill for 3 to 5 minutes for asparagus, turning once, and about 10 minutes for the zucchini, sweet pepper, and onion, turning once, or until vegetables are tender. Remove and cool slightly. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add vegetables to grill rack and grill as above.)

Cut vegetables into 1/2-inch pieces and toss with pasta in a large bowl. Add remaining oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to pasta mixture; toss to coat. Top with fresh oregano and, if desired, Parmesan. Makes 4 servings.
