BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND CHICKEN PASTA



Butternut Squash and Chicken Pasta image

The butternut squash somewhat melts into a delicious sauce coating the chicken and the pasta with all its lovely goodness. I got the idea from Everyday Italian's Giada DeLaurentis but left out the shrimp, eggplant and use chicken instead.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch peices
1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
3 1/4 cups chicken broth
12 ounces pasta

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for just a minute. Add the cubed chicken and cook through. Add squash, rosemary and saute for 8 to 10 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer until the squash is tender and the liquid is reduced by about half, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often. Drain pasta.
  • Toss the pasta and squash mixture in a large bowl until the liquid thickens slightly and coats the pasta. Transfer the pasta mixture to a wide shallow bowl and serve.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced (I use a garlic press)
2 lbs butternut squash (weight before being peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 lb=appx 1.5 cups)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon rosemary
14 ounces nonfat chicken broth (If your can or box is smaller you can add some water and bullion)
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan using medium high heat .
  • Add chicken and brown on both sides. Remove and keep warm.
  • Add onion to pan and saute until it becomes tender. Add garlic and saute for about 30 seconds or til the garlic releases its aroma.Do not brown the garlic or it will become bitter.
  • Add squash, thyme and rosemary and saute for 8 to 10 minutes and squash just begins to soften a little.
  • Add broth to the squash mix and bring to a bubble. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release (deglaze) all the yummy browned bits. Decrease heat to medium and simmer (a slow bubble) until the squash is tender. stirring occasionally.
  • If the liquid has not reduced and the squash is as tender as you like, turn the heat up and cook harder til sauce is at the thickness you want. Liquid should be reduced by about half.
  • Serve over pasta preferably, whole grain or brown rice.
  • Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and garnish each serving with freshly grated parmesan if desired.

  • Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of butter, allow it to melt, and whisk it very frequently. It should melt, foam up a bit, and then start to smell nutty and delicious while darkening in color. (Browned butter very quickly turns to burnt butter so watch this carefully! If it does burn, dump it out and start with a new 3 tablespoons.)
  • Once the butter is browned, remove the skillet completely from the stovetop onto a heating pad on the counter.
  • Whisking constantly add in the fresh thyme (just pull off the leaves to equal 1 full tablespoon), oregano, garlic, paprika, and about 1/2 teaspoon salt + 1/4 teaspoon pepper. It will foam up. Whisk until completely combined and then add in all the squash. Stir until the squash is well coated in the butter.
