RIGATONI WITH SUMMER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Preheat a grill to medium high. Put the tomatoes in a large heatproof bowl; add a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Warm the olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until the garlic softens but does not brown, 5 minutes. Pour the garlic oil over the tomatoes; toss.
• Lightly brush the bell pepper and carrot halves with olive oil. Grill, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender and well marked, about 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board; chop the pepper and thinly slice the carrots. Add to the tomatoes and toss.
• Add the pasta and a few big pinches of salt to the boiling water and cook as the label directs for al dente, adding the broccoli in the last 2 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain. Add the pasta to the vegetables, along with 2 tablespoons of the cooking water; toss to coat, gradually adding more cooking water as needed if the pasta seems dry. Season with salt and pepper.
