Crispy Artichoke, Pancetta and Butternut Squash One-Tin Pasta

Crispy Artichoke, Pancetta and Butternut Squash One-Tin Pasta

By OcadoLifePublished on 29 June 2022Meet your new go-to pasta dish: a Crispy Artichoke, Pancetta and Butternut Squash one-tin bake. The saltiness of the pancetta matches brilliantly with the soft artichokes and roasted squash, but you can swap it for chopped sundried tomatoes for a delicious veggie version – make sure you use vegetarian Italian hard cheese instead of parmesan too. Created by Rukmini Iyer, author of the bestselling The Roasting Tin series of cookbooks, this is belly-warming fodder for a chilly evening. For a speedier version, use a couple of packets of ready-cubed squash and sweet potato.
