Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt
12 ounces orecchiette
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small butternut squash, halved and peeled, seeds and pulp scooped and reserved, flesh cut into 1/2-inch pieces (4 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup packed fresh sage leaves
1 1/3 cups whole-milk ricotta, for serving
Poppy seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add squash seeds and pulp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until seeds puff and turn golden, 10 minutes. Season with salt; transfer to a plate. Add 2 tablespoons butter to skillet; melt. Add sage and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 2 minutes. Transfer to another plate. Add squash flesh to skillet. Season with salt, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10 minutes.
  • Stir in pasta, 1/2 cup pasta water, and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Simmer until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add more pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, until pasta is evenly coated; season with salt. Top with squash pulp and seeds, sage leaves, ricotta, and poppy seeds. Drizzle with oil and serve.

I love butternut squash and sage, so I was excited to try this recipe. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The sauce was too thin and the squash was undercooked. I think I'll stick to my usual butternut squash soup recipe.

This dish was good, but not great. The butternut squash was a bit bland and the sage was overpowering. I think I would have liked it better with a different type of squash and a lighter hand with the sage.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The butternut squash and sage flavors complemented each other perfectly, and the orecchiette pasta was the perfect vessel for the sauce. I will definitely be making this again!
