Spaghetti with Butternut Squash

Ingredients

• 1 small butternut squash (about 1 1/2 lb.), peeled, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt
• 1 pound spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Preparation

1. 1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. On baking sheet, toss squash with oil and 1/4 tsp. salt to coat. Spread squash in a single layer and roast until soft, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes.
2. 2. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook spaghetti until just tender, about 10 minutes, or as package label directs. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water. Return spaghetti to pot and add squash, butter and sage. Stir, adding pasta water as necessary to moisten. Serve immediately, topping with Parmesan.
