1 red sweet pepper, stemmed, seeded, and quartered

½ small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices

½ pound asparagus, trimmed

3 tablespoon olive oil

4 cup cooked whole grain rotini pasta

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

¼ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped

Shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions

Lightly brush vegetables with 1 tablespoon of the oil. For a charcoal grill, place vegetables on the rack of the grill over medium-hot coals. Cover and grill for 3 to 5 minutes for asparagus, turning once, and about 10 minutes for the zucchini, sweet pepper, and onion, turning once, or until vegetables are tender. Remove and cool slightly.

Cut vegetables into 1/2-inch pieces and toss with pasta in a large bowl. Add remaining oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to pasta mixture; toss to coat. Top with fresh oregano and, if desired, Parmesan. Makes 4 servings.
