PENNE WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH & KALE image

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 extra-large butternut squash, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tbsp. olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
2 tbsp. olive oil
3 large onions, thinly sliced
salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bunch kale, stem removed and torn into bite-sized pieces
1/3 c. white wine
8 oz. whole-wheat penne, cooked according to package (but really, any kind of pasta you want to use is fine)
1/2 roasted butternut squash
1/2 caramelized onions
salt & pepper to taste
shaved Parmesan or Pecorino cheese (to taste--I'm a big fan of cheese, so I used about an ounce on my serving)

Steps:

  • Roasted Butternut Squash 1 extra-large butternut squash, cut into 1-inch cubes 2 tbsp. olive oil salt & pepper to taste Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide squash onto 2 rimmed baking sheets; drizzle each sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until tender. Caramelized Onions 2 tbsp. olive oil 3 large onions, thinly sliced salt & pepper to taste Heat oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Cook until completely caramelized, stirring occasionally at first and more often as onions begin to brown. Depending on your stove, this could take anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour. Season with freshly ground pepper. Penne with Butternut Squash & Kale 1 tbsp. olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1 bunch kale, stem removed and torn into bite-sized pieces 1/3 c. white wine 8 oz. whole-wheat penne, cooked according to package (but really, any kind of pasta you want to use is fine) 1/2 roasted butternut squash 1/2 caramelized onions salt & pepper to taste shaved Parmesan or Pecorino cheese (to taste--I'm a big fan of cheese, so I used about an ounce on my serving) Heat oil in large skillet. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add kale and saute 1 minute, then add wine to skillet. Continue to cook until kale has wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in penne, squash, and onions; cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve with shaved cheese.
