The star of this pasta night is the moreish creamy sauce, with roasted butternut pumpkin stirred through, it’ll melt in your mouth upon first bite. Topped off with a walnut crumb, your senses will be in for a very special treat.
Keep an eye out... Due to recent sourcing challenges, we’ve replaced pumpkin with courgette, which may be a little different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut onion into wedges. Cut courgette into bite-sized chunks. • Place courgette and onion on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Pick and roughly chop sage leaves. Roughly chop walnuts. Slice cucumber into rounds. Finely chop garlic. • In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Season and set aside.
• Cook fusilli in the boiling water over high heat, uncovered, until 'al dente', 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain 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.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over mediumhigh heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook sage and walnuts, stirring, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Return the frying pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add plant-based cream (see ingredients), reserved pasta water, vegetable stock powder and 1/2 the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Add cooked fusilli and roasted veggies and gently toss to combine. Season to taste.
• Add cucumber and rocket leaves to the vinegar dressing, then toss to coat. • Divide creamy courgette fusilli between bowls. Sprinkle over sage-walnut crumb and remaining Parmesan. • Serve with cucumber and rocket salad. Enjoy!
