  1. NOMU-SPICED PUMPKIN

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the pumpkin on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. AL DENTE PASTA

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserving the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.

  3. PAN-FRIED PISTACHIOS

    Place the pistachios in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. Onion, Garlic & SAGE

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, add the Garlic, and the sage.

  5. PUMPKIN PUREE

    Place ⅓ of the roasted pumpkin and the sage and sautéed Onion mix into a blender with the macadamia yoghurt, the yeast and seasoning. Blend until smooth, loosening with the reserved pasta water until desired consistency.

  6. COAT IN DELICIOUSNESS

    Return the pan to medium heat. Add the cooked Spaghetti and pumpkin puree. Mix to coat the spaghetti, loosening with the remaining pasta water until saucy.

  7. MAMMA MIA!

    Plate up the silky Spaghetti and garnish with the remaining pumpkin chunks and toasted pistachio nuts. Enjoy, Chef!
