- 600g fresh tagliatelle
- 75g Butter
- 1 handful sage leaves
- 50g Ricotta cheese, forked into chunks

1. Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5. Halve the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Cut the flesh into 3cm chunks and lay on a baking tray. Season, drizzle with olive oil and roast for 20 minutes or until soft and browned at the edges. Be careful not to cook at too high a heat or the squash will scorch2. In a large pan of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to packet instructions.
3. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a wide pan and add the roasted pumpkin. Add the sage and gently fry. When the pasta is cooked, drain and toss it in the pumpkin and sage mixture. Season well.
