Roasted Winter Squash Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Cover a baking sheet with foil. In a bowl, toss the squash with the garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, 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.
• 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.
• When the pasta is ready, drain and toss with the squash mixture, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and the parsley. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel the squash with a vegetable peeler. Halve lengthwise, discard the seeds, then cut into 1-inch dice. Place in a large bowl.
• Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter ceases to foam and has turned a light brown, pull the pan off the heat and immediately add the sage, rosemary, sugar, vinegar (stand back so as not to get splattered), and molasses. Mix well and bring up to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer over medium-low heat for 1 to 2 minutes to meld the flavors. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Pour the vinegar mixture over the squash and toss well, then transfer to a heavy rimmed baking sheet or baking dish large enough to hold the squash in a single layer. Place in the oven and roast, tossing at least once, until very tender and caramelized, about 1 hour. Set aside until cool enough to handle but still warm, so the liquids are runny.
• Working in batches, if necessary, transfer the warm squash and all the cooking liquids to a food processor and process until smooth. Use immediately, or refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, shallots and pepper flakes and cook for about a minute; add tomatoes and squash, and cook with some salt and pepper.
• When squash is tender - about 10 minutes for shreds, 15 or so for small cubes - cook pasta until it is tender. Combine sauce and pasta, and serve, garnished with parsley or Parmesan.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Toss squash, garlic, salt and pepper, rosemary, and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large bowl.
• Place mixture on a baking pan lined with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
• 10 minutes into roasting the vegetables, put a pot of water on for the spaghetti. When the water comes to a boil, cook spaghetti according to package directions.
• When squash is finished cooking, place mixture in a large wide pasta bowl. (You can either remove the garlic cloves at this point, or if you like a strong garlic flavor, finely chop the garlic and put back into the squash mixture.)
• Stir cheese into the squash.
• Add 1/2 cup pasta water to the mixture and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm until the pasta is done.
• Cook pasta al dente. Drain well and toss with the squash and cheese mixture.
• Top with the remaining oil, parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Add butternut squash and onion to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
• Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender.
• Add roasted squash and onion to a food processor or blender. Add vegetable broth, almond milk, and blend until smooth.
• In a large sauce pot over medium heat, add olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and sage. Cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add squash puree and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
• Add cooked pasta and steamed broccoli and stir to combine.
• Top with Parmesan, and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Spread squash into a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper over squash; toss to coat.
• Roast in the preheated oven until squash is browned and softened, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and keep warm.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain linguine, reserving 1 cup pasta water.
• Melt butter in a pot over medium heat until bubbling and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Cook and stir garlic and pine nuts in the brown butter until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add linguine, arugula, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and enough pasta water to moisten to the mixture. Toss until Parmesan cheese melts.
• Transfer linguine mixture to serving plates and top with roasted squash and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll deli ham and thinly slice; set aside.
• Mix squash, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt in a bowl and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm, but tender, about 20 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler.
• While squash bakes, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
• Heat remaining olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions and rosemary until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add collard greens and cook and stir until they begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add ham; cook until greens are soft and ham is warmed through, about 5 minutes. Add cooked pasta and 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Slowly add chicken broth and stir. Add pasta water as necessary to achieve a creamy consistency. Add warm squash; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
• Place briefly under the broiler until cheese is slightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
