PREPARATION Serves 4

To prepare filling, combine first 6 ingredients (through garlic) in a large bowl. Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Spread vegetable mixture in an even layer on a jellyroll pan coated with olive oil.

Bake for 45 minutes or until vegetables are lightly browned, stirring every 15 minutes. Transfer vegetable mixture to a bowl; cool 2 minutes. Stir in basil and parsley.

Increase oven temperature to 500°F.

To prepare sauce, dissolve cornstarch in cold heavy cream; bring to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook 1 minute or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly with a whisk.
