- Warm one tablespoon of olive oil in the same pan over a low heat. Add the garlic, chilli and chilli flakes. Stir and cook for one minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss to coat. Add the lemon juice and some salt and black pepper and toss again.
- Transfer to a warmed serving bowl and top with the roasted squash, feta and pine nuts. Add a handful of rocket and drizzle with a little extra olive oil, if desired.
