Ingredients
- 800 g butternut squash peeled and cut into 1cm (½inch) chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus extra for drizzling
- salt and pepper to taste
- 50 g walnuts roughly chopped
- 6 lices prosciutto roughly torn
- ½ teaspoon dried chilli flakes or to taste (optional)
- 250 g pappardelle (or any other pasta shape you fancy)
- Grated parmesan to serve
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F.
- Place the chunks of butternut squash into the bottom of a large roasting tray. Drizzle over a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle over the chilli, salt and pepper.
- Turn the butternut squash chunks in the oil (I find it easiest to do this with my hands, but you can use a large spoon if you prefer) and spread out evenly in one layer on the roasting tray.
- Put the butternut squash into the oven for 10 minutes.
- After the butternut squash has been roasting for 10 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and add the walnuts and prosciutto. Then turn everything in the oil, using a large spoon. Cook for another 5-10 minutes until the prosciutto is crisp and the butternut squash is soft and tinged with brown. (Take care to make sure nothing burns!)
- After you have popped the tray back in the oven, cook your pasta according to the packet instructions / your own preferences.
- Drain the pasta when it is ready and add the butternut squash and prosciutto mixture. Drizzle in some more olive oil and mix everything together gently.
- Serve with some grated parmesan sprinkled on top.
