Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb peeled butternut squash pieces
1 small onion, quartered
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 oz finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 cup) plus additional for serving
1 lb penne rigate

Steps:

  • Process squash and onion in a food processor until finely chopped, about 1 minute.
  • Heat butter in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then add sage and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add chopped squash mixture, water, salt, and pepper and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until water is evaporated and squash is very tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano and remove squash mixture from heat.
  • While squash mixture simmers, cook penne in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander. Add 1/2 cup cooking water to squash mixture, then add drained pasta, tossing to combine.
  • Thin sauce with additional cooking water as desired and serve pasta with additional cheese on the side.

This recipe was a bit disappointing. The sauce was bland and the butternut squash was mushy. I think I would have liked it better if the sauce had more flavor and the squash was roasted instead of boiled.

This was a great recipe! The sauce was so flavorful and the penne cooked perfectly. I added a bit of extra garlic and red pepper flakes for a little kick, and it was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a lifesaver! I had some leftover butternut squash and didn't know what to do with it. This sauce was the perfect solution. It was easy to make and tasted delicious. I served it over penne and everyone loved it.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise this was a great recipe. I used whole wheat penne and it turned out great. Will definitely try again with less sugar in the sauce.
