This is a one of our favourite pasta dishes - an easy gluten free, roasted vegetable pasta bake recipe which everyone will enjoy that takes very little time to prepare. The ingredients list is really just a guideline since we tend to use any vegetables available in the fridge which are suitable for roasting.
