From the Test Kitchen

This summer, we’re bringing you 12 weeks of recipes designed with busy schedules and flexibility in mind. This hearty, seasonal pasta salad gets bright, Italian-style flair thanks to tender onion roasted in a blend of Tuscan-inspired spices like fennel and sage, savory Grana Padano cheese, and briny capers—all brought together with a creamy, tangy dressing.

Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil; season with salt, pepper, and up to half the spice blend (you will have extra). Turn to coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 14 to 16 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
