Cooking Pasta with Oven Vegetables
Meanwhile, bring a large pot with plenty of salted water to a boil for the pasta, add 500 grams of tagliatelle (or other pasta) to the boiling water & cook for 7 – 8 minutes or according to the instructions on the package.
Take the vegetables out of the oven after the cooking time. Shortly before the end of the pasta cooking time, skim off 250 – 300 milliliters of pasta water with a ladle & set aside. Drain the pasta over a pasta strainer & put back in the pot together with a good dash of olive oil, a generous handful of grated Parmesan, the skimmed pasta water & about a third of the oven veggies.
