Roasted butternut is blended with cream and a little pasta water to make a silky sauce for fresh fettuccine. Crumbled gorgonzola adds a sharp, savoury richness, while toasted sunflower seeds bring crunch and contrast. It’s a comforting vegetarian pasta that feels indulgent but still comes together easily enough for a midweek dinner.
