  3. Drizzle the vegetables and feta with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
  4. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes until vegetables are tender and feta is softened.

  6. Transfer roasted vegetables and melted feta to a mixing bowl, stir to combine into a sauce.
  7. Add the drained fusilli to the bowl and toss everything together, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed.
  8. Fold in fresh arugula, drizzle with remaining olive oil and lemon juice, adjust seasoning if desired, and serve warm.
