Butternut Squash Pasta with Sage and Parmesan
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
- Heat butter 20 g and olive oil 15 ml in a large deep pan over medium heat. Add onion 1 and dried sage 2 g and cook ⏲ 5 minutes until soft. Add garlic cloves 2 and stir ⏲ 1 minutes.
- Add butternut squash 0.5 and vegetable broth 250 ml. Cover and simmer ⏲ 15 minutes, until the squash is very soft. Mash roughly with a potato masher or fork, so about half of it melts into a sauce and the rest stays in small soft pieces.
- While the squash simmers, cook penne 210 g in the boiling water according to the packet, about ⏲ 10 minutes. Scoop out pasta water 100 ml before draining.
- Add the drained pasta to the sauce with parmesan 40 g and a splash of the pasta water. Toss over low heat until the sauce coats the pasta, adding more pasta water as needed. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Toast walnuts 30 g in a dry pan ⏲ 3 minutes until fragrant. Scatter over the adult bowls.
