- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C, and line a baking tray with foil. Add 1 chopped butternut squash, 1 chopped red onion, 4 whole garlic cloves and half a sliced and deseeded chilli to the tray and drizzle over olive oil. Season and mix until well coated.
- Roast for 40 minutes, turning halfway, until the squash is tender. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool.
- Meanwhile, cook 300g of pasta to pack instructions. Drain, set aside and cover.
- Pop the garlic out of its skins and add to a food processor (or use a saucepan and a stick blender) with half the veg, 12 sprigs of thyme (leaves removed) and 350ml of veg stock. Whizz until smooth. Add more water if it looks a little thick, then tip into a large pan over a low heat along with the remaining squash, a handful of grated cheese and 100g of spinach. Stir to wilt the spinach.
- Tip the pasta into the butternut squash sauce. Stir to coat, then serve in bowls topped with more grated cheese, chilli, and some fresh thyme leaves.
