Grilled Vegetable & Sausage Pasta
This pasta dish is the perfect trick to convince any veggie-phobic picky eater. In wintertime, roast vegetables and sausage together in a one-size-cooks-all sheet pan. When summer comes, fire up the barbecue and get grilling. Of course, the choice of vegetables is entirely up to you: asparagus, cauliflower and mushrooms would be just as great here!
