Cooking Steps

Roast the veggies
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut carrot and courgette into bite-sized chunks. • Place peeled pumpkin pieces, carrot and courgette on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide veggies between two trays.

Make the meatballs
2

• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, savoury seasoning and the egg. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of pork mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate. Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs!

Cook the penne
3

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook penne in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Drain penne and set aside. TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Cook the meatballs
4

• While the pasta is cooking, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Add meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).

Bring it all together
5

• Return the saucepan to low heat, add tomato sugo, cooked penne and the butter, stirring, until heated through and combined, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
6

• Divide tomato penne, roast veggies and classic pork meatballs between plates. Sprinkle over parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
