Ingredients

1 butternut squash, peeled and cut into chunks

2 red onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2tsp chilli flakes

1tsp rapeseed oil

375g Jus-Rol Light Puff Sheet

2tbsp Le Conserve Della Nonna Free From Green Pesto

1 egg, beaten

85g watercress

1tbsp balsamic glaze

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C Fan/Gas 6.
2
Toss the squash, onion, garlic, chilli and oil together on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 30 mins until golden and tender. Cool fully.
3
Unroll the pastry and, with a sharp knife, cut across its width so you have a rectangle 1⁄3 of the total size. Put on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Spoon on the pesto, leaving a 2cm border all round. Top with the roasted veg.
4
Brush the pastry border with egg, then top with the other piece of pastry. With a fork, seal the edges of the pastry with a crimping motion. Score a diamond pattern in the the pastry with a sharp knife.
5
Glaze with egg and bake for 25 mins until the pastry is golden and risen.
6
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the watercress and serve with the Wellington.
