Ingredients

  • Garlic Clove: 3 garlic cloves, sliced
  • Courgette: 1 large courgette, halved and sliced
  • Butternut Squash: 160g butternut squash, diced
  • Baby Spinach: 125g bag baby spinach
  • Fusilli: 115g wholemeal fusilli
  • Rapeseed Oil: 2 tsp rapeseed oil
  • Pecan: 6 pecan halves
  • Sage Leaves: 1 tbsp chopped sage leaves

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the butternut squash, garlic and sage in the oil, then spread out in a roasting tin and cook in the oven for 20 mins, add the courgettes and cook for a further 15 mins. Give everything a stir, then add the pecans and cook for 5 mins more until the nuts are toasted and the vegetables are tender and starting to caramelise.
  2. Meanwhile, boil the pasta according to pack instructions - about 12 mins. Drain, then tip into a serving bowl and toss with the spinach so that it wilts in the heat from the pasta. Add the roasted veg and pecans, breaking up the nuts a little, and toss again really well before serving.
