Winter Squash Recipe Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Cut the squash in half and scrape out the seeds. (You can set the seeds aside for roasting later if you like.)
  • Place the squash halves upside down on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Add about one inch of water to the baking sheet, and bake at 400F for 45-60 minutes, until soft.
  • Remove squash from baking sheet and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Note: you can do these three steps earlier in the day, or the day before and store in fridge.
  • While it’s cooling, cook the pasta in boiling water (salted “like the sea,” says Matt). Cook for 3 minutes less than the cooking time on the package. Drain. Set aside.
  • Remove the squash from the skins with a spoon.Heat the oil and butter in a large pot over low heat. Add the leeks & onion (or scallions), garlic, salt, and pepper. Saute until the onion is translucent but make sure the garlic does not burn.
  • Add the squash and 1/2 cup of water/wine, stirring until a thick sauce is formed. Add extra water/wine as needed to make it thick but not too thick.
  • Fold in the cooked pasta, taste. Adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Spoon into a glass baking dish (or two, if you only have a small one). Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the cheese browns. Serve onto plates and top with fresh parsley.
