Step by Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and line 1 large or 2 medium-sized baking sheets with parchment paper or foil.
- Toss the vegetables together in a large bowl with olive oil. Spread them out in an even layer across the pan/s. Seal the garlic cloves (divided if necessary) in a packet of foil and place it/them in the center of the baking sheet/s. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking and checking the garlic to ensure it is not burning.
- While the vegetables cook, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta as directed until it is al dente. Drain the pasta, then return it to the pot and toss it with butter over medium-high heat until melted.
- Meanwhile, In a separate bowl, whisk the evaporated milk, egg, salt, pepper, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper together. As soon as the butter melts over the pasta, add the mixture to the pot and stir to combine.
- Let the pasta cook for 2 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in both cheeses until melted, then gently stir in the roasted vegetables and serve.
