CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH PASTA WITH SAGE AND WALNUTS
Butternut squash gets roasted, puréed, then tossed with Parmesan to make this nutty, creamy pasta sauce. Each serving is topped with crispy fried sage leaves, a hint of lemon zest, and toasted walnuts, adding a crunchy contrast to the squash. Feel free to forgo wrestling with a giant squash and use a package of cubed precut squash instead.

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:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and add the chopped butternut squash. Cook for about 8 minutes.
- In the meantime, add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil to a pan. Once the oil is hot, add about 8 sage leaves. Let them crisp for about 30 seconds on each side and then remove them from the heat and place them on the side for the final topping.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and 4-6 sage leaves, add a quarter cup of water and let the onion soften.
- Once the butternut squash is cooked, remove it from the water using a slotted spoon or mesh skimmer. Add the squash straight into the pan with the onions.
- In the same boiling water you used for the butternut squash, cook the pasta until al dente according to the package directions, stirring from time to time. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.
- Place the cooked butternut squash, onions, and sage into the blender or food processor. Add the oat milk a bit at a time, and season with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
- Drain the pasta, then add back to the pan, add the butternut squash sauce, and if necessary, add a bit of the boiling water you saved to thin the sauce.
- Serve the pasta on individual plates, with freshly grated pepper, crumbled fried sage leaves, and your favorite topping (here, I used a combination of shaved walnuts and nutritional yeast - but you can use parmesan or pecorino if you are not vegan).

ORICHETTE PASTA WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SAGE & ITALIAN SAUSAG
This is really amazing, colorful and oh so tasty! The combination of sweet squash combined with sage, sweet or spicy Italian sausage is incredible! The Orichette pasta, "Little lamb ears" is perfect for this dish. I cooked the squash and sausage ahead of time, and set aside. This worked well since everything is heated through before cooking. This recipe was passed along to me from a GF. She's been bragging on it for years. I finally made it and now wonder WTH took me so long! From: Traditional Home, Sept. 2006 Although this recipe states that it serves 6-8, I think it serves 4-6 as a main dish. Serve with a green salad and sautéed haricot verts, some crusty bread and you have a lovely meal! Oh, don't forget the vino :D

Tips:
- Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is heavy for its size and has a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has any blemishes or bruises.
- Roast the butternut squash before adding it to the pasta: This will help to caramelize the squash and bring out its natural sweetness.
- Use fresh sage: Dried sage will not have the same flavor as fresh sage. If you can't find fresh sage, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried sage.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold its shape.
- Serve the pasta immediately: This dish is best served hot. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook the pasta and squash separately and then reheat them before serving.
Conclusion:
Pasta with butternut squash and sage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The roasted butternut squash adds a sweet and savory flavor to the pasta, while the fresh sage gives it a bright and herbaceous flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
