Parmesan Pumpkin, Chicken & Pesto Couscous
with Roast Veggies & Dill-Parsley Mayo
Tonight's golden pumpkin develops a fabulous sweet and nutty flavour when roasted, a lovely contrast against the sharp and salty Parmesan and the bright and herby basil pesto in the couscous. Tie it all together with superstar chicken. It's the perfect protein to pair with the pumpkin!
