Preparation

- Preheat the grill, setting the burners on high.

- Meanwhile, in pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and oil lightly. Set aside.
- In the same pot, bring the broth and pesto to a boil. Add the pasta and grilled vegetables. Warm through. Adjust the seasoning.
- Pour into 33 x 23-cm (13 x 9-inch) baking dish. Top with the cheese slices and brown in the oven under the broiler.
