Cooking Steps

1
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 herbs 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 salad leaves to the balsamic dressing, then toss to coat. Divide the creamy pumpkin fusilli between bowls. Sprinkle over the walnut crumb and remaining Parmesan. Serve with the pear salad.
