Roast Pumpkin Pasta

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the wholemeal fusilli pasta and cook for 10 minutes or until ‘al dente’. Drain well and return to the saucepan off the heat.

Meanwhile, heat half of the olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the brown onion and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until soft. Remove the onion from the frying pan.Heat the remaining oil in the same frying pan and add the pumpkin. Cook, without stirring, for 4 minutes or until it starts to caramelise on the bottom. Give the pan a shake to redistribute the pumpkin and then continue cooking for a further 4 minutes. Add the cooked onion, butter, sage and walnuts and continue cooking until the butter begins to brown and the sage crisps up (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from the heat and stir through the wholemeal spirals with the baby spinach (it will wilt as you stir it through).
