Categories     Vegetable

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small butternut squash, about 1 1/2 pounds, peeled, seeded, and cut in 1/2-inch dice
3 garlic cloves, unpeeled, lightly crushed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or sage (to taste)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 pound pasta, either long pasta like spaghetti, or penne
2 ounces ricotta salata, grated, or 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Cover a baking sheet with foil. In a bowl, toss the squash with the garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary or sage, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until all of the squash is coated with oil. Transfer to the baking sheet, place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized. Remove from the heat. Remove the garlic cloves and discard. Transfer the squash to a wide pasta bowl and add the cheese. Keep warm. 2. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook al dente, following the timing instructions on the package but checking the pasta a minute or two before. Ladle about 1/2 cup cooking water from the pasta into the bowl with the squash and cheese and stir together. 3. When the pasta is ready, drain and toss with the squash mixture, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and the parsley. Serve hot.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pasta dish turned out bland. I think I may have used too much salt.

I made this dish with butternut squash and it was delicious. I also added some chopped kale to the pasta for extra nutrition.

This pasta dish was absolutely delicious! The roasted winter squash was sweet and flavorful, and the ricotta salata added a nice salty contrast. I also loved the addition of the toasted walnuts, which gave the dish a nice crunchy texture.
