We love this fall pasta salad with maple vinaigrette! Roasted squash and brussels sprouts, pepitas, goat cheese, arugula and a maple vinaigrette make it absolutely delicious. Great for lunch or dinner!

Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 cups butternut squash 1-inch cubes or smaller, cubed
  • 3 cups Brussels sprouts halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt kosher salt
  • black pepper kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound spiral pasta cooked
  • 5 ounces arugula baby
  • 2 shallot diced
  • cup roasted, salted pepitas
  • 4 ounces goat cheese

maple vinaigrette

  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 garlic minced, clove
  • salt kosher salt
  • black pepper kosher salt
  • teaspoon nutmeg freshly ground
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Place the squash and brussels on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the garlic powder. Toss well to coat.
  3. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing once during cook time.
  4. While the vegetables roast, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta. Drain when finished.
  5. To make the salad, add the pasta to a large bowl. Add the arugula. Drizzle on a few drops of the dressing and toss.
  6. Add in the diced shallot, the pepitas and the roasted vegetables. Toss well. Crumble in the goat cheese and toss once more. Drizzle on more dressing. Serve!
  7. This can be served warm or cold. I love it both ways.

maple vinaigrette

  1. Whisk together the vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, nutmeg, pepper flakes and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Stream in the olive oil while whisking until the dressing is emulsified. This stays great in the fridge for a few days - just shake or whisk before using.
