Ingredients
- 3 cups butternut squash about 2 lbs, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
- 1 lb spaghetti
- 8 oz pancetta diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- parsley for garnish, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Place the butternut squash on a large baking sheet and toss with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until tender and lightly browned, 25-30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then place in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Before draining, reserve 1-2 cups of the pasta water.
- Place a large pot or skillet over medium heat and add the diced pancetta. Cook until browned and crispy. Add the pureed squash, cream and garlic and bring to a light simmer. Add the pasta and stir to combine. Add half of the parmesan cheese, and add the pasta water as needed to loosen the pasta and make a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the pasta topped with the additional Parmesan cheese and top with chopped parsley, if desired.
