Listen up, Mary Berry: Italian chefs show the world how to make spaghetti bolognese Roasted butternut squash and pine nut quinoa recipe • mixed dried herbs (I like oregano, herbs de provence, thyme and rosemary) • 1 tsp paprika • 1 cup of quinoa • 1 lime or lemon • a large handful of long-stemmed broccoli • a handful of fresh coriander • ⅓ of a cup of pine nuts • a dozen cherry tomatoes Preheat the ove to 190°C/gas mark 5. Slice the squash in half, then peel off the skin and remove the seeds. Place the squash on a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil, a pinch of dried herbs, a teaspoon of paprika and a sprinkling of salt. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, until deliciously soft. Meanwhile make the quinoa. Chop the broccoli into segments and roughly chop the coriander leaves. Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan on a high heat, for about three to four minutes. Slice the cherry tomatoes into quarters. Once the quinoa and the squash are cooked, remove from the heat and stir them together along with the pine nuts, a drop more lime and the cherry tomatoes.
