Ingredients

Scale

Butternut Squash

  • 2 cups cubed butternut squash (1/4" or 1/2" cubes)
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 2 teaspoons fresh minced rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Pasta

  • 4 ounces whole wheat pasta
  • 3 tablespoons walnut pieces
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese (see note)
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425˚F. Combine the squash, onion, and rosemary in a roasting pan. Toss and coat with the olive oil. Roast until the squash is tender and starting to brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Stir halfway through cooking. 
  2. Cook pasta according to package, drain, and set aside. Heat a pot or skillet, large enough to hold pasta and squash, over medium heat. Add the walnuts to the try skillet and lightly toast, 2 minutes or so. Add in the butter to melt.
  3. Once butter is melted, stir in the pasta, squash, and parmesan cheese. Toss until everything is well combined. Taste and add salt/pepper as desired. Divide into two bowls and top with a extra sprinkle of cheese.

Notes

Tips & Tricks: Look for parmesan cheese that is made with vegetable or microbial rennet- this ensures the parmesan is vegetarian.
