Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat oven and prepare equipment
5 minPreheat your oven to 220°C / 200°C fan and take out a large saucepan, a frying pan and a baking tray.
Equipment: oven, large saucepan, frying pan, baking trayTemperature: 220°CPrep and roast the courgettes
18 minCut the courgette into rounds or batons around 0.5cm thick. Place the courgettes onto your baking tray, toss in a little olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until brown and crisp, around 15-20 minutes, turning/tossing halfway.
Equipment: knife, chopping board, baking tray, ovenSimmer squash broth and butter beans
15 minPlace a saucepan over medium–high heat and add the squash broth along with the butter beans , including the liquid from the tin. Once the sauce begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently until serving. Add a splash of water as needed to reach your preferred consistency.
Equipment: large saucepan, stoveToast seeds and fry sage leaves
8 minPlace your frying pan over a low-medium heat, then dry fry (without oil) the pumpkin and pine nuts until lightly toasted. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add a few tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and place it back over a medium heat. When hot, add the sage leaves without overlapping. The leaves will turn translucent and the oil will stop bubbling around the leaves when they are crisp. Remove and set aside.
