*I suggest teaspoon/tablespoon in the recipe but that is really just a guide – put as much or as little as you fancy, I rarely do what the recipe suggests!
Method
- Heat the oven to 220 degrees.
- Cut the butternut squash in half lengthways and scoop out the seeds.
- Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper, paprika and chilli flakes and roast in oven for 45 minutes.
- After 30 minutes put on a pan of water and bring to the boil. When water has boiled at pasta and cook for 10 minutes.
- In a separate frying pan heat some oil and add garlic and shallots and let them sweat for a few minutes. Add in lemon zest and stir to coat in oil.
- Add in the sliced mushrooms and leave to get soft.
- In a bowl pour in a few tablespoons of yoghurt and add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
- Take butternut squash out of the oven and scope out the flesh. Add this to a food processor with the yeast flakes and pulse until smooth.
