Pasta With Butternut Squash And Lima Beans Recipes

PASTA WITH ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a roasting pan with the olive oil. Place the squash and onion in the pan, and season with salt and pepper. Roast 30 minutes, or until squash is tender.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place penne pasta in the pot, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage until evenly brown. Transfer the cooked squash and onion and the cooked pasta to the skillet. Gradually pour in the cream. Season with sage. Continue cooking until heated through. Mix in garlic. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with balsamic vinegar to serve.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH PASTA WITH BACON AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375 degrees.
• Add the butternut squash to a large baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top and season with red-pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Toss to combine, then spread the squash into an even layer and bake for 15 minutes.
• While the butternut squash bakes, in a small bowl, toss the red onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• After the squash has cooked for 15 minutes, give it a stir and push it to one side of the baking sheet to make room for the onion and bacon, trying to keep the squash in one layer. Add the red onion to the pan, then lay the strips of bacon in a single layer next to the onion.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 30 minutes and cook, stirring the squash and onion after about 15 minute. The bacon should be crisp and the vegetables cooked through and beginning to caramelize at the edges. (They don't have to be super golden brown, but a little color is nice.)
• Just before the vegetables and bacon are done, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and return it to the pot to keep warm if necessary.
• When the vegetables are tender and the bacon crispy, take the baking sheet out of the oven and carefully transfer the bacon to a cutting board. Coarsely chop the bacon.
• Add the butternut squash, onions and any bacon fat to the pot with the pasta. Add about 1/2 cup Parmesan and 1/2 cup pasta water to the pot and stir everything until well combined. You want the squash to break down a bit and coat the pasta; add more pasta water as necessary to coat the pasta with the squash and cheese.
• Stir in half the chopped bacon, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the pasta among bowls or plates. Top with chives, parsley, black pepper and the remaining Parmesan and bacon. Serve immediately.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH PASTA AND SAGE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375 F. Peel and halve the squash, scoop out the seeds, and cut into 1/2- to 1-inch cubes.
• Combine the squash, onion, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and oil on a large rimmed sheet pan. Toss to coat. Spread evenly on the pan. Roast until tender and brown in places, turning about halfway through roasting time, 40 to 45 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions to al dente. Drain and set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter begins to brown and the leaves crisp. Remove the leaves with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined-plate. Be careful not to burn the butter.
• Add the garlic to the skillet and continue cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat.
• Add the pasta and toss to coat. Crumble the sage leaves over the mixture. Add the butternut squash and onions. Return to medium-low heat and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until pasta and squash are warmed through.
• Toss with 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve with more Parmesan, if desired.

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs; reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the squash, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Chop the mushrooms. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the mushrooms, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates and the mushrooms are crisp around the edges, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic, shallot, oregano and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until the shallot softens, about 2 minutes.
• Add the pasta, squash and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until heated through,1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup parmesan, then stir in enough of the remaining cooking water to loosen. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup parmesan.
