Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 cups diced peeled and seeded butternut squash
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
9 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch-long strips
1 pound linguine
1/2 cup sage leaves
2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
8 ounces soft goat cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Place the squash on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle liberally with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, toss and roast until soft and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes longer.
  • Place the diced bacon in a medium nonstick skillet and place over medium heat. Cook until crispy and golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place in a medium bowl lined with a paper towel.
  • Add the pasta and a generous amount of salt to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup of the cooking water.
  • Add the sage leaves to the rendered bacon fat in the skillet, return to medium heat, and fry until the leaves are crispy, about 1 minute. Transfer the leaves to a small plate lined with a paper towel. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.
  • Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the reserved bacon fat and the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the goat cheese and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk in the cream, Parmesan, mustard, nutmeg, cayenne and black pepper to taste. Keep warm on low heat.
  • Once the pasta is drained, add it to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Toss to coat, then add the squash and bacon. Crumble in half of the fried sage leaves. Toss and add more salt to taste. If the mixture looks dry, add some of the remaining cooking water. Scrape the pasta into a serving bowl and top with the remaining whole sage leaves, a sprinkle of black pepper and some Parmesan.

Provided by Nichi Hoskins

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

kosher salt, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more as needed
4 oz pancetta, diced
12 fresh sage leaves
1 shallot, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
¼ cup dry white wine
10 oz frozen butternut squash
1 cup chicken stock
¼ cup heavy cream
8 oz dried pappardelle noodles
½ cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 3-4 minutes, until starting to crisp. Add the sage leaves and continue cooking until the pancetta and sage are crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Reduce the heat to medium low, then add the shallot and garlic to the skillet, along with more oil if needed and a pinch of salt. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add the butternut squash and chicken stock. Cover and bring to boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the squash is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the squash mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Add the cream and blend to incorporate.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente.
  • Pour the sauce back into the pan and return to medium heat. Season with salt, then gradually add the Parmesan, stirring between each addition to prevent clumping.
  • Reserve some of the pasta cooking water, then transfer the pasta directly from the boiling water into the sauce. Toss until well coated, adding some of the reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce. Add about half of the crisped pancetta and sage and stir to incorporate.
  • Transfer the pasta to serving bowls and garnish with the remaining sage and pancetta.
  • Enjoy!

  • Roast the butternut squash until it is tender and caramelized. This will bring out its natural sweetness.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the pasta. This will add depth and complexity to the dish.
