INGREDIENTS

400g pumpkin, peeled, seeded, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 lamb sausages (or other sausages
of choice)
2½ cups cooked short pasta
1 cup tomato pasta sauce
90g feta cheese, crumbled
1/3 cup char-grilled capsicum strips
2 green onions, sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
mint leaves, to serve
METHOD

  1. Preheat oven to hot, 200°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Lightly grease 4 x 1½-cup ramekins.

  2. Arrange pumpkin on tray. Drizzle with oil and season to taste. Bake 20-25 minutes, until tender and golden.

  3. Meanwhile, heat frying pan on medium. Spray with oil and cook sausages 8-10 minutes, turning until brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and slice thinly.

  4. In a large bowl, combine pasta, sauce, pumpkin, sausage, feta, capsicum, onion and garlic. Mix well and season to taste.

  5. Spoon pasta mixture into ramekins. Bake 10-15 minutes, until lightly golden.
    Serve topped with mint leaves.


TOP TIP
  • You could spoon this into one large casserole dish and sprinkle with
    a little grated parmesan or tasty cheese before baking.
  • A 400g can diced tomatoes could be used in place of the pasta sauce.
