• 1 medium aubergine, cubed
• 3 small yellow squash, cut in 1/4 inch slices
• 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup torn rocket leaves
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 230°C. Line a cookie sheet with foil, and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl toss the red pepper, yellow bell pepper, aubergine, and squash with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on the prepared cookie sheet.
3. Bake vegetables 25 minutes in the preheated oven, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned.
4. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta 10 to 12 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
5. Drain the softened sun-dried tomatoes and reserve the water. In a large bowl, toss together the roasted vegetables, cooked pasta, sun-drained tomatoes, rocket, and basil. Mix in remaining olive oil, reserved water from tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and feta cheese; toss to coat.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until chilled.
