PENNE WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND GOAT CHEESE (COURTESY GIADA D)
This looks delicious and I'm posting here for safekeeping. Follow-up: Keep an eye on your roasting veggies. Mine were done in 30 minutes and I lowered the temp to 400 F. To please DH, I'm going to try sausage in the mix next time. All in all, a nice change of pace!

Steps:
- 1. Put an oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- 2. Spray a baking sheet liberally with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
- 3. Mix the squash and onion together and arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the vegetables are golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- 4. While the squash mixture is cooling, bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add the pasta and some salt and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Put the pasta, goat cheese and 1 cup of pasta water in a large serving bowl. Toss until the cheese has melted and forms a creamy sauce. Add the squash and onion mixture, the walnuts and the basil. Toss well and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with Parmesan and serve.
- Note: To toast walnuts, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until lightly toasted, approximately 6-8 minutes. Cool completely before using.

[email protected]This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. I also would have preferred it with a different type of cheese, like a cheddar or a Parmesan.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The butternut squash and goat cheese were both very heavy and the penne pasta didn't do much to lighten it up. I think I would have preferred it with a different type of pasta, like a whole wheat or a spinac
