Pasta with Brussels Sprouts, Butternut Squash and Kale
Description
Pasta with Brussels Sprouts, Butternut Squash and Kale balances the earthy flavors of chickpea pasta with roasted seasonal vegetables. Brussels sprouts and butternut squash are roasted with olive oil until tender and lightly caramelized, then combined with kale that wilts during a brief additional roast. The pasta is cooked separately then combined with the vegetables, olive oil, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, which adds a savory, slightly nutty note to the dish.
The vegetables’ roasting process enhances their natural sweetness and soft texture, creating a contrast with the firm pasta. Kale contributes a firmer bite to balance other soft components. Finished with salt and pepper, this dish offers a simple yet harmonious flavor profile.
Serve immediately to enjoy the vegetables at their peak tenderness and the pasta warm. The dish can also be served at room temperature, making it suitable for leftovers or meal prep.
