Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 12 oz Pasta (e.g., fettuccine or penne)
Butternut Squash
  • 1 medium Butternut Squash peeled and cubed
Sage
  • 10 leaves Fresh Sage chopped
Garlic
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
Olive Oil
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Salt
  • 1 tsp Salt to taste
Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground
Vegetable Broth
  • 1 cup Vegetable Broth

Method
 

Roast the Butternut Squash
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed butternut squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, or until tender.
Cook the Pasta
  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
Prepare the Sauce
  1. In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped sage, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the roasted butternut squash and vegetable broth, stirring to combine.
Combine and Serve
  1. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
