Butternut Squash Pasta
Ingredients
1x 500g bag pasta of choice ( I used orecchiette)
1 large butternut squash, peeled and cut into cubes
1 package prosciutto (6 slices)
2 cups curly kale
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
2 sage leave, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Salt
Pepper
Method
1. Pre heat oven to 400F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper & add cubbed butternut squash. Spray with olive oil and toss with salt. Bake for 25 minutes.
2. Cook pasta according to instructions. Remember to salt water heavily and save minimum 1/2 cup of the pasta water. We will use this later.
3. While the pasta cooks, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and pan fry prosciutto for 30 seconds on each side. Remove and roughly chop.
3. Using the same pan, sauté garlic, onions and sage in 1 tablespoon oil for 2 minutes. Add cooked butternut squash, chopped prosciutto, kale and toss together.
4. Once the pasta is cooked, throw it overtop the butternut squash mixture along with 1/4 cup pasta water and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Toss to combine.
5. Sprinkle remaining parmesan and enjoy!
