This is by far one of my tried and true recipies. I make several different versions based on what vegtables I roast. Asparagus and tomatoes are a favorite in the summer time. But in the winter, I usually stick to peppers. The sauce is basically an alfredo sauce so the kids will eat it and those who chose to pick out the veggies do, then eat carrot sticks on the side. But this is in my top 5 favorites and we eat it a ton in the winter time. Not a diet food but a comfort food for sure!!
