Prepare the Pasta

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Typically, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add pasta, and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Roast the Vegetables

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the brussel sprouts, cauliflower, and carrots with a light drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

Prepare the Tomato Sauce

In a saucepan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce, adding dried herbs like oregano and basil to taste. Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes to thicken and develop flavors.

Assemble and Serve

Combine the cooked pasta with the roasted vegetables and tomato sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly. Serve warm, topped with fresh tomato slices and additional herbs if desired.
