Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put the first five ingredients into a large non-stick roasting pan, toss to coat in the oil and roast for 20 mins until the sausages are browned and the pumpkin softened and starting to crisp at the edges.
  2. Tip the gravy into the pan and gently stir around the pumpkin and sausages with a wooden spoon, scraping up any sticky or crispy bits as you go. Return to the oven for another 2 mins until the gravy starts to bubble. Season to taste and serve with greens or beans.

Make it different

Omit the caraway seeds and stir 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard into the pan along with the gravy.

Make it with potatoes

Instead of pumpkin, try using wedges of potato or baby potatoes which have been boiled for 5 mins.

    Good, simple, comfort food. Great for autumn and winter months. I used the variation with wholegrain mustard, nice and warming.

    Easy and very tasty. I used Dijon Mustard instead of wholegrain and a stock cube with a generous dash of red wine. I also added mushrooms and courgettes.

    My husband wishes I would make this every night he loves it that much. It's so easy and so delicious. I don't add the caraway seeds, but loving the suggestion of red wine!

    Yummy - made mine with sweet potato instead of pumpkin, and as suggested, used wholegrain mustard instead of carraway.

    Really enjoyed this - good comfort food. I used sweet potato instead of pumpkin and roasted it for a little longer and use whole grain mustard as suggested - Will be cooking again.

    Made this for my niece and nephews yesterday and it disappeared within minutes. I had to use Gluten Free sausages as we have a coeliac in the family but they tasted alright for the rest of us despite being a bit pale. I was hoping the sausages would brown a bit more than they did but once the gravy was in there it didn't matter so much. I doubled it and it served four adults and four children with good appetites! I did it was jackets, green beans and cauliflower cheese which was the perfect Sunday warming supper.

    This was very well received by the adults and children - a great way to incorporate lots of veggies! It did take longer than 25 mins though - I had it in the oven for nearly an hour. I also couldn't get any fresh gravy so used white wine, mustard and stock.

    Love this, make it all the time - normally after we've come back from mountain biking. Have used either pumpkin or butternut squash, may try sweet potato after seeing other comments.
