Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Large skillet

Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Butternut squash peeled, seeded, and cubed
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 ounces Pasta your choice of shape
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread the squash evenly on a baking sheet.
- Roast the butternut squash in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the squash is roasting, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the heavy cream and chicken or vegetable broth over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the roasted butternut squash to the skillet and use a potato masher or fork to mash it into the cream mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped sage leaves. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until it is well coated with the creamy butternut squash sauce.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the cream roasted butternut squash pasta hot, garnished with extra grated Parmesan cheese and sage leaves.
Notes
- Roasting the butternut squash — Make sure to evenly spread the cubed butternut squash on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting. This will help achieve a caramelized exterior and a tender interior.
- Mashing the squash — Use a potato masher or fork to mash the roasted butternut squash into the cream mixture. This will create a smooth and creamy sauce with small chunks of squash for added texture.
- Tossing the pasta — When adding the cooked pasta to the skillet, use tongs or a pasta fork to gently toss it with the sauce. This will ensure that every strand of pasta is coated with the creamy butternut squash sauce.
- Garnishing — Before serving, garnish the cream roasted butternut squash pasta with extra grated Parmesan cheese and a few fresh sage leaves. This adds a finishing touch and enhances the presentation of the dish.
