Ingredients

Scale
  • 2-3 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • Fresh sage, a generous handful, roughly chopped
  • 1 pound pasta (penne, rigatoni, or orecchiette)
  • Unsalted butter
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Garlic, a few cloves, minced
  • Vegetable broth
  • Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the squash in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped sage and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sage is fragrant and the garlic is lightly golden, being careful not to burn the garlic. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  • Puree the roasted butternut squash in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add vegetable broth to achieve desired consistency.
  • Add the butternut squash puree to the skillet with the sage-infused butter. Stir to combine.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Add pasta water as needed to create a creamy sauce.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
