- Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C for fan ovens) or Gas Mark 5.
- In a large roasting tin, combine your chopped bell peppers, aubergine, courgette, and onion. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat and set aside.
- Place the roasting tin inside the oven and roast the vegetables for 45 minutes, turning occasionally.
- After 45 minutes, add the cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, and fresh basil to the roasting tin and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- While the vegetables finish roasting, boil a large pot of salted water and cook your pasta, following package instructions but stopping 2-3 minutes early. Reserve half a cup of the pasta cooking water as you drain.
- Mix the cooked pasta with the roasted vegetable medley and gradually stir in reserved pasta water to achieve desired sauce consistency.
- Fold in mozzarella cheese and pesto gently.
- Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and top with grated Parmesan cheese. Bake for another 10 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
