- Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C Fan) or Gas Mark 5.
- In a large roasting tin, add chopped peppers, aubergine, courgette, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss until well-coated.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring twice.
- Stir in cherry tomatoes, chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, and torn basil leaves. Roast for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni or penne until al dente, about 2-3 minutes less than package directions. Reserve 4-6 tablespoons of pasta water, then drain.

- Stir in mozzarella cheese and pesto until well combined.
