Instructions
Broil sausage - remove casing from sausage, and chop in small pieces. Place on a rack over a lined, small sheet pan and broil high for about 5-7 minutes, until they are cooked through and browned.
Prepare cauliflower - break up florets in small pieces, wash and dry.
Set an oven to 450F.
Boil a pot of water to cook pasta.
Prepare other vegetables - wash sugar snap peas, bell pepper, and mushroom, and dry well, including towel dry. Slice mush rooms and bell pepper in thin pieces.
Thin slice garlics and julienne sun-dried tomatoes.
Start cooking pasta.
Season & mix vegetables on a sheet pan - line a large sheet pan with a parchment paper, and add all the vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic slices. Add salt, turmeric, cumin, pepper, and mix well. Drizzle olive oil over the vegetable mix and cradle well to coat them with spices and thin layer of oil.
Roast the vegetable mix in the oven for 5-6 minutes.
Bring them all together - drain the pasta when cooked, and add to the vegetable mix along with the broiled sausage. Put them back in the oven and roast for another 2 minutes. Add fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese, if you'd like.
