Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Cut the onion into half rings. Cut the carrot into cubes. Cut the mushrooms into quarters. In a bowl, mix the onion, mushrooms and carrot with drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables on a baking tray lined with baking paper and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
Bring plenty of water to the boil with a pinch of salt in a pan with a lid for the pasta. Cook the penne, covered, for 10 - 12 minutes (see Tip). Drain, reserving some of the cooking liquid and leave to steam without a lid.
Press or finely chop the garlic. Cut the chives.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the garlic and tomato paste for 1 minute. Add the chopped tomato, vegetable stock and 150ml water (double for 4p). Stir in 1/2 tsp sugar (double for 4p).
Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
Stir the roasted vegetables and penne into the sauce. Divide the pasta with sauce over the plates. Garnish with the cheese and chives.
