Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 100g Cooks’ Ingredients Frozen Butternut Vine Squash Chunks, defrosted
  • 2 echalion shallots, finely sliced
  • ¼ tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 clove/s garlic, crushed
  • 80g dried pasta (we used elicoidali rigati)
  • 15g unsalted butter
  • 35g Essential French Soft Goat's Cheese
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped chives

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a high-sided frying pan over a medium-high heat. Dry the squash with kitchen paper, then fry for 5 minutes with a pinch of salt until golden on all sides. Reduce the heat to medium, add the shallots to the pan and cook for a further 8-10 minutes until the shallots are golden and softened and the squash is tender and piping hot throughout. Stir in the chilli and garlic; cook for 2 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to pack instructions. Drain, reserving a mugful of the cooking water, then toss with the veg, adding the butter and a little of the reserved water if needed, until the pasta is glossy; season. Dot with the goat’s cheese, then sprinkle with the chives and a little freshly ground black pepper or an extra pinch of chilli flakes.
