Butternut Squash and Sage Pasta with Brown Butter Olive Oil
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 lb), peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 5 tbsp California Olive Ranch 100% CA Everyday, divided
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more for the pasta water
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lb rigatoni
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 20 fresh sage leaves
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 3/4 cup Parmesan, finely grated, plus more for serving
- Zest of 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the squash with 3 tbsp olive oil, the salt, and the pepper. Spread on a sheet pan in a single layer.
- Roast 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until the edges are deeply caramelized and the centers are tender. Browning is the whole point here, so give it the full time.
- Cook the rigatoni in well-salted water until just shy of al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water before draining.
- Melt the butter with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until the butter smells nutty and the leaves crisp. Lift the sage out with a fork and set it aside.
- Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Add the roasted squash and about half a cup of pasta water. Mash roughly a third of the squash against the side of the pan so it thickens into a light sauce, leaving the rest in pieces.
- Add the pasta and toss, loosening with more pasta water until every piece is glossy and coated.
- Off the heat, stir in the Parmesan and lemon zest. Finish with the crisped sage, more cheese, and a pour of olive oil.
- If your skillet is too small to toss comfortably, warm a large baking dish in the oven for a few minutes first, then combine everything in the warmed dish before serving. A cold dish pulls the heat out of the pasta and the sauce tightens up.
