Pasta With Winter Squash and Tomatoes image

I got this one out of the New York Times and I had to post it here so I would not lose it or forget about it. If you want, you can shred the squash instead of cubing it and this will reduce your time in the kitchen.

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
1/4 cup shallot, sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups tomatoes, chopped
2 lbs butternut squash, peeled and cubed (any other winter squash can be used)
1/2 lb penne
fresh parsley (garnish) or parmesan cheese (garnish)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it.
  • Put olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, shallots and pepper flakes and cook for about a minute; add tomatoes and squash, and cook with some salt and pepper.
  • When squash is tender - about 10 minutes for shreds, 15 or so for small cubes - cook pasta until it is tender. Combine sauce and pasta, and serve, garnished with parsley or Parmesan.
