Parmesan Pumpkin & Pesto Couscous

with Roast Veggies & Dill-Parsley Mayo

This dish is all about the pumpkin! Its golden yellow flesh 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.
