Marinara Pasta with Veggies

2 cloves garlic
olive oil
1/2 onion
1 carrot
1 bell pepper
2 zucchini
1 box cherry tomatoes
thyme
basil
rosemary
1 bottle marinara sauce
3-4 cups dried pasta

Saute the garlic in the olive oil, then add the onion, bell pepper, carrot, and zucchini, waiting a little time in between, allowing the more tuberous veggies a chance to soften before cooking the softer veggies. Once they are all cooked but not soft, add the cherry tomatoes so they have a chance to deflate a little. Add the spices. Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Add the pasta, veggies, and marinara sauce to a big bowl and mix together. The veggies and pasta should warm the sauce sufficiently. Err on the side of extravagance for veggie and spice amount.
