roast diced pumpkin
fry strips of bacon with chopped garlic and onion
Toss through hot, cooked taglitelli
Stir in a dash of creme fraiche
season to taste
garnish with chopped chives

well it was yummy.

even the dog loved it

i used
1 x butternut squash ( steamed then roasted)
1xonion
3 x cloves of garlic
1 x packet of bacon lardons
1 x packet of fresh gnocci
2 x teaspoons of creme fresh


the taste of the butternut squash offset the garlic lovely mmmmm!!!
