Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
On a large heavy baking sheet, toss all of the vegetables with the oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs to coat.
If you don't have a large baking sheet, transfer half of the vegetable mixture to another heavy baking sheet and arrange evenly over the baking sheets.
Bake until the carrots are tender and the vegetables begin to brown, stirring after 10 minutes, bake for 10 more minutes (20 minutes total)
While the vegetables are roasting, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
In a large bowl or the pot where you cooked the pasta, toss the vegetable mixtures with the pasta and add the 1 cup of reserved pasta water.
Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve immediately.
