Before summer’s up and all the perfectly crisp produce disappear with the sizzling sun, we’re firing up the grill more than ever! But not just steaks, skewers and pizzas. With the high heat from a gas grill or grill pan, you can quickly toast up bell peppers, onions, zucchini, eggplant and any other hearty vegetable.

Tossing grilled veggies with your favorite pasta (I used whole wheat rotini) makes a simple and delicious side dish alongside chicken or fish, or a mouthwatering main meal on its own. Serve it warm, room temperature or chilled. You can’t go wrong!
