A delightful pasta dish featuring roasted vegetables and a garlic butter sauce, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking for the vegetables.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency later.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus and cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
Roasting enhances the natural sweetness of the vegetables.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hot pasta with butter and minced garlic, stirring until the butter melts and coats the pasta evenly.
The heat from the pasta will gently cook the garlic, releasing its aroma.
Add the roasted vegetables to the pasta and toss gently to combine.
Be gentle to avoid breaking the vegetables.
Sprinkle the pasta with toasted sesame seeds, grated parmesan cheese, and fresh chives before serving.
These toppings add texture and a burst of flavor.
Serve the pasta warm and enjoy your delicious meal.
Pair with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
