Ingredients:  
1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise
1 red sweet pepper, stemmed, seeded, and quartered
1/2 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed

Directions:
1. Lightly brush vegetables with 1 tablespoon of the oil. For a charcoal grill, place vegetables on the rack of the grill over medium-hot coals. Cover and grill for 3 to 5 minutes for asparagus, turning once, and about 10 minutes for the zucchini, sweet pepper, and onion, turning once, or until vegetables are tender. Remove and cool slightly. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add vegetables to grill rack and grill as above.)

2. Cut vegetables into 1/2-inch pieces and toss with pasta in a large bowl. Add remaining oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to pasta mixture; toss to coat. Top with fresh oregano and, if desired, Parmesan. Makes 4 servings.

Personal Notes:
I am pretty sure I said this about the last recipe I put in too, but I could eat this entire bowl! It is my favorite summer food hands down! You can switch out veggies with what you have and it seems to make a decent amount. It is still yummy the next day cold too!
I just noticed the oregano in the recipe. I don't typically add this. Mainly because I never noticed it before. If I did add it though I would just use dried oregano.
