Vegan Pumpkin and Sage Pasta
Ingredients:
1 butternut squash (around 600g), diced into cubes
1 bunch silverbeet (or spinach), chopped
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
6-8 sage leaves
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
200g pasta of choice
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable stock or water (as needed)
Who says delicious, hearty meals have to come with a hefty price tag? In today’s episode, we’re diving into the garden and making a super affordable and wholesome Pumpkin Pasta with Silverbeet and Crispy Sage, all for just $0.29 per serving! 🍂 This dish is packed with rich autumnal flavors and easy, homegrown ingredients.
While my sage might not be winning beauty contests anytime soon (thanks to the previous homeowner’s questionable gardening choices), it’s still got plenty of life-and flavour-left in it! Paired with some silverbeet that’s practically taking over my garden, this dish comes together beautifully. Plus, everything’s organic and spray-free, which means it’s good for both your body and your wallet.
Pumpkin: Butternut squash gives us a creamy sauce without needing to remove the skin (lazy chef trick, anyone?). The skin-off cubes blend down into a silky, rich sauce, while the skin-on chunks add texture and extra nutrients.
Silverbeet: Adds a pop of green and a mild earthy flavour that balances the sweetness of the pumpkin. This is also the perfect way to use up your garden greens!
Sage: We crisp up these leaves in olive oil for that perfect aromatic touch. Trust me, the fragrance alone will make you hungry.
While making this pasta, I couldn’t help but reminisce about how much of my cooking is guided by the seasons and what’s growing in the garden. My sage may not be thriving in the full sun, but it still brings all its aromatic goodness to this dish. It’s funny how sometimes the most unassuming ingredients can create the most unforgettable meals.
If you're looking for a cozy, healthy meal that's easy on the wallet, this is it. Whether you’re harvesting straight from the garden or using store-bought veggies, this pumpkin pasta is a must-try.
Method Overview:
Start by prepping your squash into skin-on and skin-off cubes.
Crisp up the sage leaves in olive oil, then use the infused oil to sauté onions and garlic.
Cook the skin-off squash until tender, then blend into a creamy sauce.
Pan-fry the skin-on squash cubes for some caramelized goodness.
Boil your pasta and toss it in the sauce with the silverbeet leaves.
Top with crispy sage, crack some fresh pepper, and enjoy!
Cost Breakdown:
Butternut squash: Free (garden-grown)
Silverbeet: Free (homegrown)
Sage: Free (homegrown)
4 cloves garlic: $0.20
1 onion: $0.30
Seasoning: $0.10
200g pasta: $0.18
Total cost: $0.29 per serving
Whether you're a seasoned home cook or just looking for budget-friendly meals, this dish is sure to impress. And if you're here to learn how to save money in the kitchen while still eating well, don't forget to hit that subscribe button!

    I’ve never made bread without my wild yeast starter, but it’s frozen and I’ve had this bakers yeast for over 8 years (yes, it’s still active, I checked😂). I’m going to follow your instructions but I’m curious, what temperature is your house? I usually have to do all the stretch and folds and rests in slightly warmed container… so I’m just curious. Maybe you live in a much warmer climate. 😅

    I liked your video, and I will try this bread. However the method of mixing you use in the beginning is not called Rhubarb but Rubaud, after Gérard Rubaud (a French baker) who devised this very effective mixing method. I had a bit of a chuckle when I read "Rhubarb". Oh well, one learns every day, I guess, and I sure hope that you're not offended by post. Thank you. ;-)

    To prevent tofu from sticking when you fry it, powder it with corn starch before putting it in the pan. "How it tastes like" is grammatically incorrect. It's either "what it tastes like" or "how it tastes".

    • @mayameeroo
      @mayameeroo 9 днів тому

      You can try and lower the amount of water to 70% instead of 75. See if it helps with the stickiness. Some flours absorb more water than others.. So for 400 gr of flour you can try with 280 ml/gr of water :) Hope it helps.
