Method

Combine 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, mustard, half of the garlic and pepper in a large bowl and stir.

Add eggplant, onions, mushrooms, asparagus and fennel.

Toss to coat, cover and set aside for 4 hours at room temperature, tossing occasionally.

Remove vegetables from the marinade and discard marinade.

Prepare a grill for medium heat cooking.

Working in batches as needed, arrange marinated vegetables over the grill grates and cook, covered, until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes (depending on vegetable), flipping once or twice.

Transfer vegetables to a cutting board, and chop into bite-size pieces. Set aside.

For the pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add pasta and cook until just tender, 12 to 14 minutes.

Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.

Add remaining oil and garlic and toss to combine.

Stir in marjoram, cheese, and reserved vegetables, and toss to combine.

Transfer to bowls or a large platter and serve.
