Cooking by color might not be the surest way to devise holiday-appropriate recipes, but who can resist the lure of black linguine on Halloween?

So much so that you'll be making this pasta combination again and again, long after the jack-o-lanterns have disappeared.

Yield Makes 6 (main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
2 orange bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
½ teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound black linguine or spaghetti (squid or cuttlefish ink pasta)
½ cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
Accompaniment: grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
  • Toss squash and bell peppers with garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a 17- by 11-inch 4-sided sheet pan. Roast, stirring once, until vegetables are just tender and browned in spots, 25 to 35 minutes.
  • While vegetables finish roasting, cook linguine in a pasta pot of well-salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain pasta and return to pot.
