Seasonal and scrumptious this pasta dish combines English summer classics with fresh herbs for a subtle yet pleasing garden flavour. Added to that, the leeks melt in the mouth in the fresh tomatoes, while the syrup over the roasted squash and hazelnuts sets off the whole dish.

Broccoli is my spring time favourite vegetable, which is lucky as I have a glut on from my allotment, so it is going in EVERYTHING!

It is not very eggy in flavour, but the textures and nutrition are a close match.
