Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and chopped into 2.5cm pieces
olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely sliced
1 bunch of fresh basil, leaves picked, stalks finely chopped
1 x 400 g tins of chopped tomatoes
sea salt
500 g dried penne
freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons ricotta cheese
750 ml organic vegetable stock
150 g mozzarella ball
1 handful Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
2 sprigs fresh sage, leaves picked

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Place the squash on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and pop in the hot oven for around 15 minutes, or until tender.
  • Pour a couple of lugs of olive oil into a large frying pan, add the garlic and basil stalks and fry for a couple of minutes. Add your tomatoes to the pan, breaking them up with a wooden spoon and bring to the boil. Drop in the roasted squash, bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil, add the penne and cook for a couple of minutes less than it says on the packet. Drain, then toss with the sauce.
  • Tear up the basil leaves and sprinkle into the pan with some salt and pepper. Stir in the ricotta and the stock, then bring back to the boil.
  • Rub a large baking tray, ovenproof pan or earthenware dish with olive oil and spoon in all the pasta and sauce. Tear over the ball of mozzarella and top with the Parmesan. Rub the sage leaves with a little olive oil and put on top.
  • Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Serve with a crisp green salad.
  • Tip: If you're a chilli freak like me, try adding a chopped fresh chilli to your tomato sauce.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

10 ounces diced butternut squash (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 small shallot, halved
1 clove garlic, unpeeled
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
1 large leaf fresh sage, finely chopped, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
30 jumbo pasta shells (about 10 ounces)
1/4 cup vegetable broth or water
Two 10-ounce packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups whole-milk ricotta
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 cups grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup freshly grated mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Add the squash, shallot and garlic to a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to combine. Sprinkle with the thyme, sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and toss again. Roast until the squash is tender and light golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Add the pasta shells and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Drain and let cool.
  • Squeeze the roasted garlic into a small food processor or blender, add the squash, shallot and vegetable broth and puree until smooth.

  • Add the pureed squash mixture, heavy cream and butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, whisking frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the remaining 1 1/3 cups Parmesan.
  • Spread the cheese sauce into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the baking dish seam-side up, shingling them so they all fit (you should have 5 shells along the short side and 6 shells along the long side). Top with the mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Top with more Parmesan and sage before serving.

PASTA WITH ROASTED WINTER SQUASH AND RICOTTA SALATA



Pasta with Roasted Winter Squash and Ricotta Salata image

Ricotta salata is a dry, salty, distinctively flavored ricotta cheese that is widely used in Southern Italy. If you can't find it you can use goat cheese; the goat cheese version will be creamier.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 45m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small butternut squash, about 1 1/2 pounds, peeled, seeded, and cut in 1/2-inch
3 garlic cloves, unpeeled, lightly crushed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or sage (to taste)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 pound pasta, either long pasta like spaghetti, or penne
2 ounces ricotta salata, grated, or 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Cover a baking sheet with foil. In a bowl, toss the squash with the garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until all of the squash is coated with oil. Transfer to the baking sheet, place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized. Remove from the heat. Remove the garlic cloves and discard. Transfer the squash to a wide pasta bowl and add the cheese. Keep warm.
  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook al dente, following the timing instructions on the package but checking the pasta a minute or two before. Ladle about 1/2 cup cooking water from the pasta into the bowl with the squash and cheese and stir together.
  • When the pasta is ready, drain and toss with the squash mixture, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and the parsley. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • To easily remove the skin from the butternut squash, use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife.
  • If you don't have ricotta cheese on hand, you can substitute mascarpone cheese or cream cheese.
  • To make the pasta shells more flavorful, cook them in salted water with a little olive oil.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to fill the pasta shells.
  • To prevent the pasta shells from sticking together, toss them with a little olive oil before baking.
  • Serve the pasta shells immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

Roasted butternut squash and ricotta stuffed pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet butternut squash, creamy ricotta cheese, and flavorful spices is sure to please everyone at the table.
