A buttery, savory and best of all simple way to make a butternut squash and pasta meal.

Ready in: 45 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 1 (3 pound) butternut squash, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• 1 pound pasta (bow-tie is a nice choice)
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 large shallot, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 30 mins

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Toss squash with 1 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper to taste in a mixing bowl, then pour onto a baking pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, until softened and beginning to brown.

3. While the squash is roasting, bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for about 12 minutes, or until al dente. Drain.

4. Combine butter and 3 tablespoons oil in a skillet and set over medium heat. When butter has melted and oil is hot, stir in shallots and sage. Saute for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the butter has browned.

5. Toss pasta with squash and sage butter in a large bowl. Serve.
