Description

Toasted flaked almonds add a pleasing crunch to this warm, healthy and tasty whole wheat fusilli dish.

Ingredients

Pumpkin and fusilli pasta salad:
2 tbsp olive oil
250g kale
1 pumpkin, roughly 750g
1 large red onion, sliced into petals
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
250g whole wheat fusilli
Sea salt
Black pepper, freshly cracked

To serve:
100g feta
100g flaked almonds

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200°C/gas mark 6.

2. Peel, deseed and roughly chop the pumpkin into 2.5cm cubes. Toss in olive oil, salt and pepper with the onion petals and roast in the oven for 25–30 min until soft and slightly caramelised.

3. Tear the curly kale into smaller pieces, trimming any tough stalks, and add to the roasting tray after 20 min to crisp up a little.

4. Cook the fusilli in salted boiling water until al dente, according the packet instructions.

5. In a hot, dry frying pan, toast the flaked almonds until golden brown.

6. Once all the elements are cooked and warm, toss the pasta with the roasted vegetables.

7. Scatter over the toasted almonds and crumble feta cheese over the top. Serve immediately with green salad and crusty bread.

Enjoy!
