Ingredients

1 butternut squash, peeled, deseeded
and cut into small dice
5 ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
8 fresh sage sprigs, shredded
2 tbsp olive oil
2 litres vegetable or chicken stock
100g small pasta shapes
½ tsp dried chilli flakes

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Place the squash, tomatoes, red onion and sage in a baking tray, season and drizzle over the oil. Roast for 30 minutes, until cooked through and beginning to brown.
Place the stock in a large pan and bring to the boil. Add the pasta and chilli and simmer for 5 minutes, then add the beans and roasted vegetables and simmer for a further 5 minutes, until the pasta is tender. Stir in the Parmesan, pour into a flask or cool and pack into ‘pour and store’ plastic bags.
