Vegetable, Feta & Mackerel Linguini

This highly adaptable recipe is basically: toss together a tray of roasted vegetables; a pan of hot cooked linguine, then add a bowl of cold, flavorful items to heighten taste.

1. Roast a tray of bite-sized vegetables of your choice, for about 25 minutes at 180°C (fan oven). I used:

  • Butternut squash
  • Mushrooms
  • Onions
  • Peppers
  • Minced garlic
  • Mixed herbs
  • Salt and pepper

Meanwhile, mix together in a bowl:

  • Chopped olives
  • Sun-dried tomatoes
  • Crumbled feta
  • Fresh parsley
  • Lemon
  • A can of chopped mackerel in spicy tomato sauce (optional)

2. Toss all the ingredients with the still-hot cooked linguine. I also tossed in some grated cheddar. Taste for any further seasoning (salt, pepper, lemon). Sprinkle with more chopped parsley.

Could be served on a bed of avocado, smoked almonds, and rocket or watercress—but I didn’t have any of those!
