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.

    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!

    Sorry,but this did nothing for us. Quite bland despite adding the red onions and garlic, and hubby thought it was a vegetarian meal as it was hunt the Chorizo ! Thankfully the dog liked it !

    I cooked this again last week and roasted the squash with some sliced onions in smoked rapeseed oil and used a tin of chopped tomatoes rather than cherry tomatoes. I didn't have any sage so used rosemary and it worked just as well. Definitely worth doing for a mid week meal.

    Really nice for a quick, easy and tasty mid week meal! I used rosemary instead of sage, and found that the chorizo is better if you only roast it for 10 minutes, otherwise I found it too overdone. I also added onions as above which gave a nice sweetness. Its so easy and quick - will be making again!

    Very nice, easy to make. Made this twice now, added in a can of tomatoes as well to give it more sauce.
