Details
Preparation
Step 1
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Cut, peel, and seed the squash, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
3. Toss with the onion, garlic, a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper.
4. Mince about half of the fresh sage leaves and toss with the squash.
5. Spread the mixture evenly on a large baking sheet and bake for about 50 minutes, or until squash is soft.
6. Make the pasta.
7. Heat a couple Tbsp. of olive oil in a large skillet. When the oil is hot, lay in the sage leaves and heat them until they become crisp, about a minute.
8. Remove them with a slotted spoon, lightly salt them, and crush them.
9. Once the squash is ready, pour the pasta and squash mixture into the skillet and cook for a few minutes, until the pasta begins to crisp. Stir in the crumbled sage and pine nuts. Serve with parmesan on the side.
