Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
8 ounces penne
1 small butternut squash (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces pancetta, diced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, peel the butternut squash and shred on the large holes of a box grater. Combine the olive oil and pancetta in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in the marjoram, then the shredded squash and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the squash is just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the pasta and 3/4 cup of the cooking water to the dutch oven. Cook, tossing, until the pasta is coated with the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes, adding the remaining cooking water as needed. Season with salt. Divide among bowls and top with the parmesan.
