I like the way you roasted several of the ingredients (and toasted the pepitas). I’m sure that adds a lot of extra flavor. And ’tis the season for really good farmer’s market corn and cherry tomatoes. Yum!

I know it is more time-consuming, but I just love roasted veggies. They have sooo much more flavor then simply sauteeing. Sometimes, if I know I am not going to have enough time, I will roast the veggies the night before. I especially do this when I am going to make a lasagna or soup!
