Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the butternut squash into uniform cubes, toss them with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until well coated, and spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and tender.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dry pasta and cook according to package instructions (9-11 minutes) until al dente, reserving 1 cup of starchy pasta water before draining.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and fresh sage, sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Add a splash of dry white wine, then mix in the roasted butternut squash and drained pasta.
- Stir in fresh lemon zest and grated Parmesan, gradually adding reserved pasta water to achieve desired sauce consistency. Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.
- Fold in the toasted pine nuts and optionally drizzle with truffle oil before serving. Plate the pasta and enjoy.
