Squash tomato tagliatelle



.





 

Whenever I use my oven I roast a batch of other veg to make an easy meal next day. For this one I pre roasted a butternutsquash and used half in this dish.

 

Thoroughly scrub a medium butternutsquash. Remove the end hard pieces and cut into quarters removing the seeds. Then cut each quarter into 4 wedge shapes. Spread in one layer on a baking sheet, brush with oil and sprinkle on a good serving of white pepper and sea salt. Peel a garlic bulb and put alongside the buttersquash then bake in a preheated 200C / 180 fan over for 30 minutes. Leave to cool and fridge overnight.

Next day:

Using half of the roasted wedges, put them into a small ovenproof bowl which will fit into the top basket of a 2 tiered steamer with the lid on, and top with a can of mackeral fillets in tomato sauce and 2 diced sundried tomatoes. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of their casing. Press all of the garlic into flat disc paste and put on top of the mackeral.

 

In the lower part of the steamer bring to the boil 200ml water, add a handful of tagliatelle and place the 2nd tier as described above on top. Boil for 12 minutes. Drain the tagliatelle.

 
Layer the tagliatelle on a serving plate with the tomato / squash mixed in.
