Baked vegetables with a twist = a meal in this old cottage.

A meal in itself!

Hi,   how ya doing?....come on in,,,,

Have you ever had one of those days when the cupboard is bare??, your meal plan is over for the week and you hadn't planed or budgeted for an extra day?.... good so I am not the only one....
Yep,, I had one of those the other day, and being a good 30 mins out of a town, I wasn't going to just pop up the road (fuel = $$ too), I am really trying to be frugal and stuff...

I was pottering around in the garden and thought, well, I have some great fresh herbs & I am sure I have some potato's, carrots n pumpkin lurking in the back of somewhere..
So I set to work ..

I chopped the veg into chunky bite size bits & chucked them into a baking dish, sprayed on a good layer of olive oil, sprinkled with all purpose seasoning, threw over a few chopped fresh herbs & popped it into the oven on about 180 for an hour

Checking on them every so often, as I didn't want them to go too crunchy,(to be honest I can not remember how long they took). A little crunch on the corners and a nice moosh in the middle. ( yep about that long)

In the meantime I cooked up some spiral pasta in some water and a spoonful of vegetable stock powder, when that was nearly cooked I chucked a hand full of frozen peas & corn in the pasta pot and cooked that altogether a while longer...

I then plopped the pasta into some bowls and scattered the baked veg on top

smothered it with garlic yoghurt and "whalla", we have our selves some baked vegetables on twisted pasta..yummo..

(we will be having this again for sure,it went down a treat at this old cottage)
