It’s Pastapalooza 2016, and I’m celebrating the All American Cookout by serving up a grilled vegetables with pasta recipe! It’s perfect for a backyard get-together, a neighborhood cookout or a family reunion in a nearby park.

Grilled Summertime Veggies with Pasta recipe

(I created this recipe in partnership with Dreamfields Pasta. All opinions remain my own.)

I love Dreamfields Pasta (click to get a coupon while supplies last) since it has the taste and al dente texture of traditional pasta, but with 5 grams of fiber (20% of the daily recommended intake) and 7 grams of plant protein in every one cup cooked serving. It’s an easy way to eat a little better!

Dreamfields also contains inulin, a prebiotic fiber sourced from chicory root, which encourages healthy digestion. It’s also available in a variety of shapes: Elbows, Penne Rigate, Rigatoni, Angel Hair, Spaghetti, Linguine, and Lasagna.

Paired with some delicious grilled veggies for summertime, you simply can’t go wrong! (During the cooler seasons of the year, roasted vegetables from the oven will be just as appetizing.)

    I love the taste that grilling adds to fresh veggies, and I love that grilling keeps that brutal Texas summer heat outside where it belongs. The idea of a grilled veggie dish with pasta sounds DELICIOUS! I’m making sure none of my garden produce goes to waste and this sounds like a delicious way to do so. Love the post, thanks for sharing! (Stopping by from the Dream, Create, Inspire Blog Party)

    I am always having troubles making grilled vegetables seasoned perfectly. I never tried them mixed with pasta though, I will try and see if I can make them taste better. 🙂

    Can this recipe be any easier? I love it, it’s the perfect pasta recipe for me since I don’t eat meat. And it’s going to be packed with flavor as well since grilling the veggies adds a lot of flavor in them especially the bell peppers!

    When the weather is nice I hate to be indoors cooking so I grill as much as possible. Vegetables just seem to taste so much better after they’ve been grilled and are perfect with pasta.

    i like pasta a lot. But unfortunately, I only get to eat pre cooked pasta . We dont make it quite often (only when my mum is around she makes it ) And i cant make it. . . the chances of burning something or setting the kitchen on fire is just way too high 😛

    We grill almost every day when the weather is good. This looks like a great option instead of the usual hamburgers or steak! Grilled veggies are so tasty.

    Pastapalooza sounds fun. What a fun idea for a contest to create a Pinterest board. I’ll check into that. Those vegetables on the grill look so inviting. Pasta dishes have made the way to our table so I’ll go grab some ideas.
