Step-by-Step Instructions for Fall Harvest Pasta Salad
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss diced butternut squash and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well-coated. Spread on a baking sheet.
- Roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway to ensure even cooking. They should be tender and caramelized.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the roasted vegetables. Add cranberries, chopped pecans, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle balsamic vinegar and toss gently.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for an hour to let flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes
Make it a day in advance for deeper flavor development, but keep the dressing separate until serving.
