Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced into 1” cubes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 10 leaves fresh sage, cut into thin strips
- ½ cup salted butter
- 12 oz package Valente Butternut Squash and Sage Fettuccine
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a ½ sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Toss the butternut squash, olive oil, salt and pepper to coat. Spread in a single layer on the sheet pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and tender.
- Meanwhile, make the sage butter sauce. Melt the butter in a stainless steel saute pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the sage and cook until the sage starts to brown slightly. Remove from heat.
- Boil the pasta according to package directions (2-3 minutes). Drain, reserving ½ cup of the pasta water.
- Toss the pasta and butternut squash in the saute pan with the butter sage sauce. Add a scant ¼ cup pasta water and the cheese. Stir vigorously to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add a little more pasta water. The pasta water will emulsify with the butter and cheese to create a silky sauce.
- Serve immediately with a dusting a freshly grated parmesan cheese.
