Pasta With Winter Squash and Tomatoes image

If we're being truthful, this sweater weather recipe should really be called "winter squash and tomatoes with pasta," as the 2 pounds of squash far outweigh the 1/2 pound of penne it calls for. We think that's a good thing. Every single piece of pasta gets a generous coating of sauce, and there's even some left behind after the pasta is long gone. That's what bread is for.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/4 cup sliced shallots
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 cups chopped tomatoes
1 1/2 to 2 pounds peeled, cubed or shredded butternut or other winter squash, about 5 cups
1/2 pound cut pasta, like ziti or penne
Freshly chopped parsley or Parmesan for garnish.

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, shallots and pepper flakes and cook for about a minute; add tomatoes and squash, and cook with some salt and pepper.
  • When squash is tender - about 10 minutes for shreds, 15 or so for small cubes - cook pasta until it is tender. Combine sauce and pasta, and serve, garnished with parsley or Parmesan.

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more garlic and herbs next time.
