Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, toss the zucchini and asparagus with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 20 minutes. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 more seconds. Increase the heat to medium high, add the tomatoes and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Meanwhile, add the linguine to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and add to the skillet with the sauce. Add the roasted vegetables and the reserved cooking water; toss to combine, then stir in the basil. Divide among bowls and top with more cheese.

• Arrange cauliflower, broccoli, onion, and garlic in a single layer on the prepared pan. Drizzle with oil; toss to coat.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook and stir 1 minute. Add broth, roasted vegetables, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 10 minutes, adding spinach during the last 4 minutes to wilt. Cool slightly; puree in a blender or with an immersion blender. Serve hot. Or chill, covered, up to 3 days, and reheat for another use.

ROASTED MIXED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Prepare the vegetables: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Add the vegetables to a rimmed sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons oil, the salt, pepper and thyme (if using), and gently toss vegetables to coat. Use your hands to spread the vegetables out into one layer, spacing them evenly all over the pan.
• Transfer to the oven and roast until they are tender and browned, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring at least once during roasting for even cooking.
• While vegetables roast, you can make yogurt sauce if you like: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Serve roasted vegetables with a dollop of garlic yogurt, if desired, and a drizzle of oil on top.
