- Add olive oil, salt and pepper to the veggies and toss them well.
- Spread them on the baking tray and roast them for 20 to 30 minutes until tender and toasted.
- Set them aside to cool a little.

- Divide the dough into four equal pieces.
- Roll them out into thin sheets.
- Dust each sheet with wheat flour and cut them into thin strips.
- Bring a pot of water to boiling point.
- Cook the pasta for several minutes until it reaches your desired texture.
