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
Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
Trim the butternut squash, halve lengthways, then scoop out the seeds (peel first if you prefer). Cut into 1cm chunks.
Pop the diced butternut onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and cooked through, 18-20 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, boil a full kettle.
Peel half the garlic cloves. Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer).
Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and peeled garlic cloves.
Cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.
Meanwhile, peel and grate the remaining garlic (or use a garlic press).
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the grated garlic and Mexican style spice mix. Stir-fry for 1 min.
Pour in the tomato passata and mixed beans (including their liquid). Stir in veg stock paste, water for the sauce and honey (see pantry for both amounts). Bring to the boil, then simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 4-5 mins.
Once roasted, stir the butternut squash through the sauce. Stir in the smoky base paste and butter (see pantry for amount). Grate the cheese.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat. Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if you have any), then mash the potatoes and garlic until smooth.
Transfer the butternut and bean sauce to an appropriately sized ovenproof dish. Top with an even layer of mash, using the back of a spoon to smooth it out. Scatter over the cheese.
Bake the pie on the top shelf of your oven until golden and bubbling, 10-12 mins.
Once the pie is cooked, allow to stand for 2 mins, then share between your plates.
Serve the salad leaves on the side with a drizzle of olive oil to finish.
Enjoy!
