INSTRUCTIONS:
INGREDIENTS
I tried to keep mine all in one pot but you can do it separately if needed.
-
Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
-
I diced my pumpkin, onion, and capsicum all in oven small pieces (2cm).
-
In my large oven safe pot, I added 1 tbsp of olive oil, followed by by pumpkin, capsicum and my cherry tomatoes.
-
I roasted a whole garlic ( but only ended up using 4 of the cloves).
-
I then drizzled over my second tbsp of oil.
-
I put my pot in the oven and roasted the veggies for 60 minutes or until the garlic was soft (This depends on your oven).
-
Once the veggies were ready, I transferred my pot to the stove and moved onto cooking my pasta.
-
I followed the instructions in my pasta packet to cook it to perfection.
-
Whilst the pasta was cooking, I added my tomato paste, cottage cheese and stock to my pot with the roasted veggies.
-
Using a hand blender, I blended the veggies until smooth.
-
You can transfer the veggies to a blender if you prefer.
-
Once the sauce was blended and smooth and the pasta cooked, I combined the pasta and the sauce.
Serve with burrata and extra salad or garlic bread x
