Farmer's Market linguine!

Sometimes when I come across a recipe on Pinterest or a cookbook I get inspired to shake up that particular recipe and make it my own. This happened to me earlier this week after making my meal plan and then taking a fabulous trip to Costco's produce department! 
Here in Illinois it has been very dreary and cold so far in April. I have been craving sunshine and warmth (especially after our spring break in Florida)! So I decided fresh veggies as a main dish may just brighten things up around here. I am a sucker for squash of all shapes and sizes so that was my focal point in this dish. You can use just about any veggies you want in this dish depending on what is in season or what looks good in your supermarket!

Ingredients: 
1 rotisserie chicken (cut and shredded)
8 oz. linguine noodles
1 butternut squash
2 zucchini
2 yellow squash
12 oz. white mushrooms sliced
1 pint grape tomatoes halved

salt
Wishbone's EVOO olive oil and herb dressing
1/2 cup feta cheese
freshly shredded Parmesan cheese (optional - add desired amount)
parsley (optional on top for presentation)

Directions:

1.  Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
2.  Chop up all of your veggies, toss them in olive oil and salt, then spread them out on a large baking sheet. Cook at 450 degrees for 18-22 minutes. Make sure the veggies are nice and tender. 
3. While the veggies are roasting in the oven, prepare your linguine noodles as directed on the package. 
4. Toss chicken and noodles together with the olive oil dressing. Add veggies when done.
