Squash and Red Onion Pasta

How to Make Squash and Red Onion Pasta Recipe - preparation 10 minutes cooking time 15 minutes Serves 4

Ingredients:
2 red onions, thinly sliced
3 tbsp sunflower oil
700g/1lb 9oz butternut squash
225g/8oz fusilli pasta
4 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 tbsp crème fraîche
salt and ground black pepper
¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan

Method:
1 Toss the onions in a bowl with half of the olive oil. Spread them out in a foil-lined grill (broiling) pan and cook under a hot grill (broiler) for 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft
and beginning to caramelize. Set aside.

2 Peel and seed the squash and cut into 1cm/½in slices. Brush with the remaining oil. Grill (broil) for 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until soft and starting to brown. Cut the squash into
bite-sized pieces.

3 Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water according to the instructions on the pack. Drain, reserving 4 tbsp of the cooking water, and return to the pan.

4 Add the parsley, garlic, crème fraîche, nutmeg and reserved cooking water. Season to taste and toss everything together. Serve on warmed plates, sprinkled with Parmesan.
