Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Toss the pumpkin in a roasting tin with 1 tsp of the olive oil, season well, then roast for 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling water as in the pack instructions. Drain, reserving 100ml of the pasta cooking water. Return the pasta to the pan, stir in a drizzle of oil, then set aside.
  3. Set the grill to medium. Mash the roasted pumpkin with the cannellini beans, then stir in 100g of the cheese, the reserved cooking water and the stock. Stir the mixture into the pasta, adding a splash more stock or water to loosen, if needed. Spoon all the mixture into a medium baking dish.
  4. Mix the remaining cheese with the breadcrumbs and a little oil, then sprinkle over the pasta and grill for 5 minutes until golden and bubbling.

  5. Heat the remaining 1 tsp oil in a heavy-based frying pan and stir-fry the brussels sprouts for 2-3 minutes until beginning to char. Add the garlic and sage, then fry for 1 minute more. Spoon the veg over the hot pasta to serve.
