Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions
Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees. Boil a large pot of water with ¼ tsp of salt for your broccoli and pasta. Roughly chop the onion and pepper into 2cm cubes. Toss them together with 2 tsp of olive oil and some salt and pepper.
Lay your pepper and onions on a tray and roast on the middle shelf of the oven for 15-20 mins. Meanwhile separate your broccoli into florets.
Cook the broccoli in the boiling water for 3 mins. Remove the broccoli from the water but keep the water for the pasta. Tip: When you remove the broccoli put it in a bowl of cold water to ‘refresh’ it (i.e. stop it from cooking further so it keeps its crunch).
Cook the pasta in the water for 11 mins or until just al dente. Reserve a couple of tbsp of the pasta water then drain.
Add as much chilli flakes as you dare to the roasted vegetables in the oven, for the last 3 mins.
Remove your vegetables from the oven, toss in a bowl together with the broccoli and pasta. Add 2 tbsp of pesto, 2 tbsp of reserved pasta water and 1 tbsp of grated cheese and stir together.
Serve immediately and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
