Roasted Veggies with Pasta and Feta
There's been a resurgence of interest in the slow cooker and it's being used for way more than "stewed" meals! In this recipe, vegetables are slow-roasted in their own juices and canola oil keeps them nice and tender. The addition of fresh herbs, beans and olives at the end rounds out the flavors!
