Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 cup whole cashews
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup butter
12 fresh sage leaves, cut in half
2 cloves garlic, cut into slivers, or more to taste
8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine butternut squash, onion, cashews in a large baking dish or on a baking sheet. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper; toss to coat. Spread into a single layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until squash is browned and tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir sage and garlic until sage is wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and return spaghetti to the pot. Stir sage-butter mixture into spaghetti until coated; carefully fold in roasted squash mixture and Parmesan cheese.
