Provided by Megan Mitchell

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 cups diced peeled and seeded butternut squash
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
9 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch-long strips
1 pound linguine
1/2 cup sage leaves
2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
8 ounces soft goat cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Place the squash on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle liberally with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, toss and roast until soft and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes longer.
  • Place the diced bacon in a medium nonstick skillet and place over medium heat. Cook until crispy and golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place in a medium bowl lined with a paper towel.
  • Add the pasta and a generous amount of salt to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup of the cooking water.
  • Add the sage leaves to the rendered bacon fat in the skillet, return to medium heat, and fry until the leaves are crispy, about 1 minute. Transfer the leaves to a small plate lined with a paper towel. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.
  • Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the reserved bacon fat and the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the goat cheese and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk in the cream, Parmesan, mustard, nutmeg, cayenne and black pepper to taste. Keep warm on low heat.
  • Once the pasta is drained, add it to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Toss to coat, then add the squash and bacon. Crumble in half of the fried sage leaves. Toss and add more salt to taste. If the mixture looks dry, add some of the remaining cooking water. Scrape the pasta into a serving bowl and top with the remaining whole sage leaves, a sprinkle of black pepper and some Parmesan.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH PASTA WITH BACON AND PARMESAN



Butternut Squash Pasta With Bacon and Parmesan image

In this cozy weeknight meal, roasted butternut squash and Parmesan are combined for a dish that's flavorful but not too heavy. A bit of thick-cut bacon adds crunch and smokiness. If you don't have thick-cut on hand, you can certainly use thin-cut, but keep an eye on it, as it will cook through faster. Be prepared to pluck it from the oven once crisp and allow the vegetables to finish cooking at their own pace. A handful of chopped fresh herbs added just before serving gives this comforting dish a bit of brightness.

Categories     pastas, vegetables, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
3 tablespoons olive oil
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch dice
5 slices thick-cut bacon (about 5 ounces)
12 ounces short, twisty pasta, like campanelle or cavatappi
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan (about 1 1/2 ounces)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375 degrees.
  • Add the butternut squash to a large baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top and season with red-pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Toss to combine, then spread the squash into an even layer and bake for 15 minutes.
  • While the butternut squash bakes, in a small bowl, toss the red onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • After the squash has cooked for 15 minutes, give it a stir and push it to one side of the baking sheet to make room for the onion and bacon, trying to keep the squash in one layer. Add the red onion to the pan, then lay the strips of bacon in a single layer next to the onion.
  • Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 30 minutes and cook, stirring the squash and onion after about 15 minute. The bacon should be crisp and the vegetables cooked through and beginning to caramelize at the edges. (They don't have to be super golden brown, but a little color is nice.)
  • Just before the vegetables and bacon are done, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and return it to the pot to keep warm if necessary.
  • When the vegetables are tender and the bacon crispy, take the baking sheet out of the oven and carefully transfer the bacon to a cutting board. Coarsely chop the bacon.
  • Add the butternut squash, onions and any bacon fat to the pot with the pasta. Add about 1/2 cup Parmesan and 1/2 cup pasta water to the pot and stir everything until well combined. You want the squash to break down a bit and coat the pasta; add more pasta water as necessary to coat the pasta with the squash and cheese.
  • Stir in half the chopped bacon, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the pasta among bowls or plates. Top with chives, parsley, black pepper and the remaining Parmesan and bacon. Serve immediately.

CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH PASTA WITH SAGE AND WALNUTS



Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta With Sage and Walnuts image

Butternut squash gets roasted, puréed, then tossed with Parmesan to make this nutty, creamy pasta sauce. Each serving is topped with crispy fried sage leaves, a hint of lemon zest, and toasted walnuts, adding a crunchy contrast to the squash. Feel free to forgo wrestling with a giant squash and use a package of cubed precut squash instead.

Categories     dinner, pastas, vegetables, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves
5 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
3/4 packed cup fresh sage leaves
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 lemon, zested (about 1 tablespoon)
1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock, plus more as needed
1 pound short pasta, such as gemelli, casarecce or penne
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the squash and garlic on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well and roast until the squash is very tender, 30 to 35 minutes, tossing twice throughout. While the squash roasts, bring a large pot of water to boil.
  • Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) skillet, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium. When the oil is hot, add the sage and cook, tossing often, until the leaves begin to crisp, about 1 minute. Add the walnuts and a generous sprinkle of salt and cook, tossing often, until the sage leaves are lightly browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sage and nuts to a paper towel-lined plate and wipe out the skillet. Let the mixture drain for 1 minute, then add it to a small bowl with the lemon zest; toss lightly and set aside.
  • Working in batches if necessary, transfer the roasted squash and garlic to a blender or food processor, along with 1 cup stock, and blend until smooth and thick. The consistency should be somewhere between a purée and a thick soup. Add more stock as needed, if it seems too thick.
  • Transfer the puréed squash to the reserved skillet and keep warm over very low heat. Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water, along with 1 tablespoon salt, and cook until al dente. Just before draining, ladle 1/2 cup pasta water into a measuring cup and set aside.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly, then, off the heat, add the 1/2 cup Parmesan and toss until the cheese is incorporated. Add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the pasta among shallow bowls and sprinkle the sage, walnut and lemon zest mixture on top, and serve with extra Parmesan on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the squash properly: To ensure that the squash is cooked evenly, cut it into uniform-sized pieces and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast the squash at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for about 30 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy: For the best results, cook the bacon in a single layer in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until it is crispy, but not burnt.
  • Use fresh sage: Fresh sage has a more intense flavor than dried sage, so it is the best choice for this recipe. If you can't find fresh sage, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried sage instead.
  • Don't overcrowd the pasta: When you add the pasta to the pan, make sure not to overcrowd it. If the pan is too crowded, the pasta will not cook evenly.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the squash is still slightly crispy.

Conclusion:

Roasted Butternut Squash Pasta with Bacon and Crispy Sage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of roasted butternut squash, crispy bacon, and fresh sage creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish perfectly every time.
