1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the broccoli and bell pepper with the olive oil and pinch of salt and pepper until well coated. Place in a single layer in a glass dish and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the broccoli is lightly browned but still has a slight crunch texture.

Step 2

While the broccoli is cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, then drain and set aside.

3. While the pasta is cooking, make the dressing. Whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, tahini, mustard, maple syrup, tamari, and ginger.
