Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 onion finely sliced
- 3 cups mushrooms (250g) sliced
- 4 ½ ounces butternut squash (125g) peeled and grated
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- ¼ cup heavy cream (double cream) (60mls)
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- 9 ounces spaghetti or other pasta (250g) ¼ cup of cooking water reserved
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to packet instructions
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions, mushrooms and squash and fry, stirring, for 10-15 minutes, or until soft and the mushrooms release their juices. Add a splash of water if it starts to stick.
- Add the garlic, butter and sage and fry for another 2 minutes, then season to taste.
- Stir in the ¼ cup of the pasta cooking water, cream and parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Serve over the cooked pasta noodles.
Notes
- Alternatively to grating, chop the butternut squash into very small cubes
- If you don't want to peel and seed butternut squash, purchase pre-cut at the grocery store and chop or grate it down to size.
- Because of the natural sugars in butternut squash, it may stick to the pan while sauteeing. To avoid this, use a splash of water to deglaze the pan.
- Cook the garlic last with the butter to avoid it from burning and becoming bitter.
- If you want a little extra flavor, try roasting the butternut squash before adding it to the pan. Just toss with a little olive oil and salt, then roast in a 400-degree oven for 15 minutes or until tender.
