  • bunch of thyme, pulled from the stalk

  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  1. Toss all of the vegetables and the thyme in the honey, vinegar and oil. Season well and place into an oven preheated to medium. Roast until the vegetables are soft tossing once or twice.

  2. Put the pasta on to boil in lightly salted water and drain when cooked. Pour the pasta into the oven proof dish with the vegetables and stir ensuring all of the juices coat the penne. You can add a little more olive oil if you wish.

  3. Stir in the parsley and chives and serve.
