My boyfriend happens to be a really rather good cook so I'm always pleased when he offers to rustle up dinner. This is a perfect little summer supper which I recommend enjoying on a sunny balcony with a tall, dark handsome man and a cold creamy Chardonnay.
Pappardelle pasta
Butternut squash
Chorizo (omit for veggie)
Cherry tomatoes
Chilli finely chopped
Sage
Smoked paprika
Parmesan
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Peel and cube the squash and toss with a little olive oil, chilli and paprika and place on a baking try in the oven at 200oC for 25 minutes.
Boil a pan of salted water and cook Pappaedelle.
Slice chorizo and quarter then dry fry in a pan for a couple of minutes until the oil starts to secrete.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the fresh sage and then toss into the cooking squash for the last five minutes.
Remove the cooked pasta from the water and toss with the vegetables then add the chorizo. Serve with shaves of parmesan and freshly milled black pepper.
We enjoyed this dinner on Thursday night which was the start of our extra long bank holiday, so a suitably upbeat party song is needed. I'm loving ZHU - Cocaine Model at the moment, summer vibes.
