1 medium (about 2 1/4 pounds) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup olive oil
Coarse salt
3/4 pound penne pasta
3 ounces pancetta, sliced 1/4 inch thick and finely chopped
2 shallots, thinly sliced crosswise
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, flakes
10 fresh sage leaves, coarsely chopped or torn
1/2 cup finely grated pecorino Romano cheese, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place butternut squash on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil; season with salt. Transfer to oven and roast until squash is browned and tender, about 15 minutes.

Penne With Butter, Sage, and Parmesan image

This simple recipe makes a great accompaniment to grilled chicken. The quality of Parmesan really matters here; avoid the stuff in the green container for this preparation!

Provided by D. Todd Miller

Categories     Penne

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

16 ounces penne pasta
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (I use inexpensive olive oil from Spain)
30 fresh sage leaves
1 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, freshly grated
fresh ground pepper, to taste
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook the pasta until it is tender but just short of the point at which you want to eat it.
  • Meanwhile, place butter and olive oil in a saucepan large enough to hold the cooked pasta; turn the heat to medium and add the sage. Cook until the butter and oil begin to brown and the sage shrivels.Turn heat down to low.
  • When pasta is almost done, scoop out a cupful of the cooking water and set aside. Drain the pasta, immediately add it to the sage mixture, and raise the heat to medium.
  • Add 1/2 cup of the reserved water, and stir. Cook about 30 seconds or until some of the water is absorbed and the pasta is perfectly done.
  • Stir in the cheese until the sauce becomes creamy. Thin it with a little water if necessary.
  • Season liberally with pepper, and salt to taste.

PENNE WITH ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Penne with Roasted Butternut Squash

Provided by Angelo Acquista

Categories     HarperCollins     Pasta     Butternut Squash     Healthy

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt, optional
1 pound penne pasta
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 tablespoons grated Parmigiano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • 2. Toss the squash cubes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt (if using) and mix well. Spread onto a baking pan in a single layer and roast for 20 to 30 minutes until soft. Increase the oven temperature to broil and broil the squash for 2 minutes more.
  • 3. When the squash is almost done, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the salt (if using) and the penne and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/3 cup of the cooking water and drain the pasta.
  • 4. Place half of the squash into a blender along with the reserved pasta water and puree until it is smooth. It should have the consistency of tomato sauce.
  • 5. Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large pan over low heat. Add the onion and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt (if using) and cook until the onion is softened.
  • 6. Add the squash puree and roasted squash cubes to the onion, and sauté for 1 minute.
  • 7. Stir in the drained pasta, and remove the pan from the heat.
  • 8. Stir in the Parmigiano, parsley, and pepper, and drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh butternut squash. If you don't have fresh butternut squash, you can use frozen or canned butternut squash, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, but you can use a regular olive oil if that's all you have.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the butternut squash. If you do, the squash will not brown properly and will be mushy.
  • Cook the butternut squash until it is tender, but not mushy. You should be able to easily pierce the squash with a fork.
  • Add the sage to the sauce at the end of cooking. This will help to preserve the sage's flavor.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, topped with Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

This penne with butternut squash sage sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The butternut squash and sage flavors pair perfectly together, and the Parmesan cheese adds a touch of richness. This pasta dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
