  1. ROSY BUTTERNUT

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut pieces and rinsed rosemary on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and spread out evenly. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and starting to crisp, shifting halfway. Remove on completion.

  2. ZESTY QUINOA FLAKES

    Place a nonstick pan over a medium heat – use a deep pan if you have one! When hot, toast the quinoa flakes for 2-3 minutes until light gold, shifting continuously. On completion, remove from the heat and toss through ¾ of the chopped parsley, the lemon zest to taste, and seasoning. Remove from the pan and set aside for serving.

  3. GET THE BOIL ROLLING

    When the butternut has 10 minutes remaining, boil a full kettle. Fill a pot with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and place over a high heat. Once bubbling rapidly, add a drizzle of oil and cook the pasta for 13-15 minutes until al dente. Keep stirring for the first 3 minutes to prevent sticking, then stir sporadically during the remaining cooking time.

  4. CREAMY AND DREAMY

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the grated garlic and fry for another minute, shifting continuously. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir through the nutritional yeast and ¾ of the cashew cream cheese. Pour into a blender and add in the cooked butternut, discarding the rosemary stalks. Blend until smooth, gradually adding 100ml of boiled water until pourable but still thick. (You might not need to add all of the water.) Return to the pan, cover to keep warm, and set aside.

  5. SAUCE TIME

    When the pasta is cooked, drain and return to the pot. Toss through some oil to prevent sticking. Add to the pan of sauce and toss to coat. Season to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

  6. YOU BUTTERNUT SKIMP ON THIS PASTA!

    Bowl up a heap of indulgent butternut pasta. Scatter over the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, the zesty quinoa flakes, and the remaining parsley. Finish off with dollops of the remaining cashew cream cheese and side with a lemon wedge. Bravo, Chef!
