This dish takes about 40 mins to prepare and another 60 mins to cook, but it's something different to pasta bake...

1 cup each of the following vegetables (diced): pumpkin, onion, red capsicum, eggplant, tomato, zucchini
1 Tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp freshly crushed garlic (or, let's face it, as much as you like!)
1/2 tsp dried Italian herbs (can replace with fresh herbs)
2 Tbsp water
1 can soya beans (drained and rinsed)

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 190*C
2. Combine diced vegetables with olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well.
3. Bake in oven for 45 mins or until begetables are just tender.
4. In a small bowl, combine tomato paste, garlic, italian herbs and water.
