Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 F
- Cut spaghetti squash in half (widthwise) and place open side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 30-40 minutes until knife-tender, turn on their side, and roast 5-10 more minutes to allow steam to dry out!
- While squash is baking, heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions until just tender about 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms, turn heat to medium and saute until they begin to release their liquid, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and sage and continue cooking until mushrooms brown, about 4 minutes.
- Season generously with salt and pepper and nutmeg. Feel free to deglaze the pan with a little wine if you like, cooking this off.
- Scoop out the spaghetti squash seeds, then add the long strands into the saute pan with the mushrooms and stir to incorporate.
- Taste for salt, and add more if necessary. Stir in most of the grated cheese, saving some for garnish. Place in a serving bowl, top with remaining cheese and a drizzle of truffle oil and a sprinkling of pine nuts.

ROASTED MUSHROOM AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH TART
This is a substantial tart with a crunchy, whole-grain dough. Don't be put off by the yeast in the dough. It makes it both airy and crisp, and isn't at all hard to handle. You don't even need a mixer; this dough comes together quickly and easily by hand. For the most complex flavors, use a variety of different types of mushrooms, though just one kind is fine if that's what you have. Oysters, maitake, shiitake, black trumpet and chanterelles are best, but even cremini mushrooms work nicely. Serve this warm or at room temperature, preferably within 6 hours of baking for the crispiest crust, though it will hold up for a day or two if you store it in the refrigerator and reheat it in a 300 degree oven before serving.

Steps:
- Prepare the dough: In a medium bowl, sprinkle dry yeast and sugar over 2/3 cup/158 milliliters warm water. Let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes, then add oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flours and salt, then stir in yeast mixture with a wooden spoon until combined. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until dough is uniform and elastic, 3 to 5 minutes, adding more flour if needed. (Flour your hands if necessary to keep dough from sticking.) Or, if the dough seems a bit dry, add a bit more water.
- Transfer to an oiled bowl, turn dough to coat it with oil, cover with a damp cloth and let rest in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 2 hours (or longer if you kitchen is cold or drafty).
- Meanwhile, prepare the topping: Heat oven to 450 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss mushrooms and leeks with 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. On another rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash with 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spread squash and mushroom mixtures out evenly on their respective pans and roast until lightly browned at the edges, 15 to 20 minutes for the mushrooms, 18 to 22 for the squash. Don't let the vegetables get too brown, you will be cooking them again. Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack and let vegetables cool. (You can roast the vegetables up to 8 hours in advance.)
- Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet. Roll dough out on a floured surface to an 11- by 16-inch/28- by 41-centimeter rectangle, then transfer to oiled baking sheet and press the dough out to the sides. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Heat oven back to 450 degrees. Spread mushroom mixture over dough, sprinkle with thyme and red pepper flakes and top with squash. Sprinkle lightly with salt, then with cheese, then drizzle with olive oil. Bake until golden brown all over, 14 to 18 minutes. Serve hot or warm, sprinkled with chives if desired and lemon juice to taste.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Butternut squash, acorn squash, and kabocha squash are all great choices for roasting. Look for squashes that are firm and free of blemishes.

- Use a variety of mushrooms: This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms are all good options.
- Cook the mushrooms until they are browned: This will help to bring out their flavor.
- Use a flavorful pasta: A whole wheat or multigrain pasta will add more flavor and nutrients to the dish.
- Add some greens: A handful of spinach, kale, or arugula will add some freshness and nutrition to the dish.
- Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs: This will add a finishing touch to the dish.
