Penne with Roasted Butternut Squash, Pancetta and Sage
Ingredients
  • 1 medium (about 2¼-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into ½-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
  •  
  • ¼ cupolive oil, divided
  •  
  • kosher salt
  •  
  • 1 poundpenne pasta
  •  
  • 3 ouncespancetta, sliced ¼-inch thick and cut into small dice
  • 2 shallots, thinly sliced crosswise
  •  
  • ¼ teaspooncrushed red pepper flakes
  •  
  • 10 fresh sage leaves, coarsely chopped or torn
  •  
  • ½ cupfinely grated Pecorino Romano cheese, plus more for serving
  •  
  • ½ teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
  • Few flavors marry as well as butternut squash, sage and pancetta. I love to serve this dish in the fall when its autumnal personality will be most appreciated and I'm most in the mood to roast vegetables.

  • TECHNIQUE TIPS: Season the pasta water so it tastes like broth. Add the cheese off the heat, so it doesn't get overcooked and stringy in the pan.
  •  
  • SWAP OPTIONS: Feel free to substitute another squash or pumpkin here, or even mushrooms.
