SIMPLE BUTTERNUT SQUASH CREAM SAUCE FOR PASTA

Steps:

• (While you are making this sauce, prepare the vegetables and pasta you will dress with the sauce. It's a good back up plan to save a cup of the pasta water in case you need to loosen the sauce at the end.)
• In a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter or margarine.
• Add the flour to the butter, whisking to break up lumps. Allow the flour and butter to cook until the flour just starts to color -- about 2 minutes.
• Add the milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Turn the heat to medium-low and allow the sauce to come to a slow simmer. Stir frequently and keep the heat relatively low to prevent scorching on the bottom.
• Once the sauce has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, whisk in the squash and heat through, stirring frequently.
• Add salt, pepper, and other herb or spice to taste. Freshly grated nutmeg, dried basil, or rubbed sage are likely candidates.
• Just before adding the sauce to the pasta (and vegetables), remove from the heat and whisk in the parmesan until smooth. Taste and do a final adjustment of the spices if necessary.
• Toss drained pasta and veggies in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some pasta water and toss again. Serve immediately.
