When my son was in college he worked as a Fireman for the University and this roasted vegetable pasta was a favorite of his fellow firefighters.  I always loved the idea that the Firemen took turns preparing dinner and they would eat together.  My son is still able to prepare this even in his sleep.   And I was glad to share Italian sausage and veggies pasta dish with my son and glad his fellow firefighters enjoyed it.
