Pumpkin Pasta Recipe

This simple little recipe is so quick and easy to do and perfect for a healthy weekday dinner! 

 

 

Serves 4

Ingredients

Pasta - around 300 - 350g depending on appetite (brown rice pasta or wholegrain is healthiest!)

2-3 whole butternut squash (depending on size)

whole garlic bulb (medium)

olive oil

Salt and pepper

Parmesan cheese

Peel and chop butternut squash into roughly 1.5cm chunks

Scatter onto a baking tray or oven dish

Break up garlic bulb into individual pieces and lightly crush each with side of a knife (no need to peel them)

Scatter the cloves onto the tray with the squash

Drizzle olive oil all over until coated and add a pinch of salt and pepper

Bake in the oven for around 30 - 40 mins until very soft

Meanwhile cook pasta to packet instructions 

Drain pasta when cooked and add the entire contents of oven baked tray to the pasta (can remove garlic cloves if you don't want to eat them by mistake!) and mix well

Serve immediately with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese 

Enjoy!
