Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Tip the squash and chorizo onto a roasting tray, season, then toss in the oil. Roast for 20 mins, adding the tomatoes and two-thirds of the sage for the final 5 mins cooking.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti. Drain, then toss with the roasted ingredients and any cooking juices from the tray. Serve sprinkled with the remaining sage and grated parmesan, if using.
Try

Roasting tomatoes

If you roast the tomatoes their skins will burst, allowing their juices to caramelise in the roasting tray. This is a great way to make a healthy pasta sauce with loads of flavour.

    I often combine it with this recipe: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1456/roasted-squash-and-red-onion-pasta i.e. basically adding chorizo and cherry tomato to the above. The garlic is gorgeous with the squash.

    Add a bit of garlic too, if you don't have sage it is still delicious

    I really like this, its quite simple, not loads of flavour but add some parmasan and its delicious. Also agree its good adding some red onion and a very small amount of creme fraiche (first time I added too much)

    we love this recipe and keep choirzo in the fridge ready for an evening when we fancy this dish. My partner suffers with migraines so we use fresh peppers and caramlised peppers instead of tomatoes - delicious!
