Spaghetti Tossed With Butternut Squash And Sage Butter Recipe 445

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the butternut squash on a baking sheet, toss with the olive oil and season heavily with salt and pepper. Roast until very tender, about 30 minutes. Reserve.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the sage and cook until crisp, about 2 minutes. Add the roasted butternut squash and hazelnuts and toss to combine.
• Drain the pasta, add it to the saucepan and mix well to evenly incorporate all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the butternut squash on a baking sheet, toss with the olive oil and season heavily with salt and pepper. Roast until very tender, about 30 minutes. Reserve.

Drain the pasta, add it to the saucepan and mix well to evenly incorporate all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.

Steps:

• Place the squash into a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer the squash until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain excess water. Cooked squash should equal 2 cups.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook the onion, garlic, and apple, stirring frequently, until softened and brown, about 15 minutes. Add butternut squash and chicken broth, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat just to a simmer, and stir in the milk and cheese blend. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce has reached desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
