Roast pumpkin penne

here is a really nice light and healthy pasta dish as another attempt at cooking for the summer slim down. Roast pumpkin has so much natural fresh flavor that you will probably not need to season so taste before you do.

What you need

500g pumpkin cubed
1 cooked packet penne (400g)
1 Onion finely chopped
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 packet spinach (green only) finely chopped

Olive oil
Parmesan cheese

The process

Toss the pumpkin cubes in a little olive oil and roast in a 180 Celsius oven for about 20minutes or until they are soft and the edges are beginning to brown.

heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan on a medium heat and fry the onions until they are soft and translucent. Add the garlic and toss to combine for about 1 minute, then the spinach, mix and cook for about another 2 minutes and finally add the roasted pumpkin, toss to distribute evenly, taste and season if necessary and set aside.

Immediately add the warm cooked pasta, mix with a large spoon to coat the pasta in a little oil and distribute the mixture evenly.

Done, serve with a good grating of parmesan and black pepper.
