Directions

  6. Bring water to boil for pasta.
  7. Meanwhile, in a large bowl add salt pepper, herbs, extra virgin olive oil and chopped garlic. Mix well. Drop all the veggies and coat with the marinade. Use you hands and toss the veggies gently and evenly.
  8. Grill the veggies 4-5 minutes turning once, they should to get grill marks.
