Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a big rimmed baking sheet alongside parchment newspaper. Add the cauliflower, butternut squelch, ruddy bell pepper, broccoli, mushrooms, and shallots.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, tossing once, or until vegetables are tender, caramelized, and gilded brown.
While vegetables are roasting, brand the pesto. Add broccoli florets to your nutrient processor and pulse until really finely chopped. Add the basil, parsley, garlic, pino nuts, parmesan, lemon juice, table salt, too pepper too pulse several more than times. Add the olive crude too blend until smooth. Season to gustation with additional common salt as well as pepper if desired.
Bring a pot of H2O to a boil for the pasta as well as common salt the H2O. Once boiling, add your pasta too cook according to bundle directions, or until merely al dente. Remember to reserve your pasta water (I just scoop a bunch out alongside a large mug or heat-condom glass mensuration loving cup!) Drain pasta, as well as add together back into the pot or a big mixing bowl. Add the pesto and a splash (first alongside ane/four loving cup) of the pasta H2O too stir to coat the pasta.

Add a dyad handfuls of parmesan cheese as well as some other splash of pasta H2O if it seems like it needs more wet. Season to gustation with additional common salt too pepper if needed. Serve amongst extra parmesan, basil leaves, and crushed ruddy pepper flakes if desired.
Recipe Notes
*If you like a lot of pesto on your pasta, I'd double the pesto recipe. It makes only plenty for the pasta alongside no leftovers. Or, if y'all but desire to take extra pesto inwards the fridge to use throughout the week inward a diversity of meals, I'd double it besides!
*To toast your pino nuts, add them to a dry skillet over medium-depression oestrus, as well as allow them toast until they're fragrant too gilded brown. Watch carefully though - they tin fire in an minute!
*It'sec then slowly to forget to scoop out your pasta H2O - to ensure y'all don't forget, proceed a mug or heat-rubber drinking glass mensuration loving cup right next to the pot to remind y'all!
