Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Put a large saucepan of lightly salted water on to boil. Chop the peeled pumpkin into 1 cm chunks. TIP: Chop the pumpkin small to ensure it cooks in the allocated time. Peel and crush the garlic. Pick the thyme leaves. TIP: Hold the thyme stalk in one hand and run your fingers down it to easily remove the leaves. Zest the lemon until you have a pinch of zest. Juice the lemon.

toast the almonds
2

Place a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the slivered almonds. Toast, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, or until golden. TIP: Stirring the almonds occasionally prevents them sticking to the pan. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Cook the pasta
3

While the almonds are toasting, add the fettuccine (use suggested amount to ensure the finished dish is balanced in flavour) to the saucepan of boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until 'al dente'. Reserve 1/2 a cup of pasta water, drain the pasta, retun to the pan and drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Cook the pumpkin
4

While the pasta is cooking, return the frying pan to a medium-high heat. Add a good drizzle of olive oil and the peeled pumpkin. Cook for 4 minutes, without stirring, until the bottom is lightly caramelised. Then cook, stirring, for a further 4 minutes, or until soft. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the thyme leaves, garlic and lemon zest and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Toss it all together
5

Add the fettuccine to the pan with the pumpkin along with a drizzle of the oil from the marinated goat fetta tub, 1/2 the marinated goat fetta, the** baby spinach leaves** and lemon juice (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people). TIP: Add as much or as little lemon juice as you like, depending on your taste preference. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss to coat. Add the reserved pasta water (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people) to loosen. TIP: Add a dash more cooking water to loosen the pasta if you like.

Serve up
6

Divide the butternut pumpkin & thyme fettuccine between bowls and sprinkle with the remaining goat fetta. Top with the slivered almonds.
