Cooking Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Cut the red onion into wedges. Place the peeled & chopped pumpkin and onion on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Spread out evenly and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

While the veggies are roasting, pick and roughly chop the sage leaves. Roughly chop the walnuts. Thinly slice the pear. Finely chop the garlic. In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Season and set aside.

Cook the fusilli in the boiling water until al dente, 11 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain the fusilli and return to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking. Cover to keep warm.

TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the sage and walnuts, stirring, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.

Return the frying pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the longlife cream (see ingredients), reserved pasta water, the vegetable stock powder and 1/2 the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Add the cooked fusilli and roasted veggies and gently toss to combine. Season to taste.

Add the pear and spinach & rocket mix to the vinegar dressing, then toss to coat. Divide the creamy pumpkin fusilli between bowls. Sprinkle over the sage-walnut crumb and remaining Parmesan. Serve with the pear and rocket salad.
