- 4 carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips

- Bake until the carrots are tender and the vegetables begin to brown, stirring after the first 10 minutes, about 20 minutes total.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water, about 8 minutes, until al dente (tender but still firm to the bite).
- Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Toss the pasta with the vegetable mixtures in a large bowl to combine.
- Add cherry tomatoes and toss well, adding some of the pasta water if needed to moisten.
- Season to taste with more salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan, serve immediately and enjoy.
