Squash Mushroom Sage Pasta Recipes

CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and add the chopped butternut squash. Cook for about 8 minutes.
• In the meantime, add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil to a pan. Once the oil is hot, add about 8 sage leaves. Let them crisp for about 30 seconds on each side and then remove them from the heat and place them on the side for the final topping.
• In the same pot, add the chopped onion and 4-6 sage leaves, add a quarter cup of water and let the onion soften.
• Once the butternut squash is cooked, remove it from the water using a slotted spoon or mesh skimmer. Add the squash straight into the pan with the onions.
• In the same boiling water you used for the butternut squash, cook the pasta until al dente according to the package directions, stirring from time to time. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.
• Place the cooked butternut squash, onions, and sage into the blender or food processor. Add the oat milk a bit at a time, and season with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
• Drain the pasta, then add back to the pan, add the butternut squash sauce, and if necessary, add a bit of the boiling water you saved to thin the sauce.
• Serve the pasta on individual plates, with freshly grated pepper, crumbled fried sage leaves, and your favorite topping (here, I used a combination of shaved walnuts and nutritional yeast - but you can use parmesan or pecorino if you are not vegan).

ROASTED SQUASH AND MUSHROOM PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons cheese and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Toss squash with 3 tablespoons oil and the sage, if using, season with salt, and spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toss mushrooms with remaining tablespoon oil; season. Push squash to one side of pan and add mushrooms. Roast 10 minutes. Flip vegetables and roast until tender and golden, 20 minutes. Remove half the squash, sprinkle remaining vegetables with breadcrumb mixture and return to oven. Roast until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water, then drain. Add reserved squash and 1 cup pasta water to pot, and cook over medium-high heat, mashing as it comes to a boil. Add pasta and remaining 6 tablespoons cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Add more pasta water, if necessary, to make a creamy sauce. Stir in remaining vegetables just before serving. Sprinkle with additional cheese and drizzle with olive oil.

ROASTED SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH MUSHROOMS, GARLIC AND SAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F
• Cut spaghetti squash in half (widthwise) and place open side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 30-40 minutes until knife-tender, turn on their side, and roast 5-10 more minutes to allow steam to dry out!
• While squash is baking, heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions until just tender about 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms, turn heat to medium and saute until they begin to release their liquid, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and sage and continue cooking until mushrooms brown, about 4 minutes.
• Season generously with salt and pepper and nutmeg. Feel free to deglaze the pan with a little wine if you like, cooking this off.
• Scoop out the spaghetti squash seeds, then add the long strands into the saute pan with the mushrooms and stir to incorporate.
• Taste for salt, and add more if necessary. Stir in most of the grated cheese, saving some for garnish. Place in a serving bowl, top with remaining cheese and a drizzle of truffle oil and a sprinkling of pine nuts.

Stir in the cream of mushroom and sour cream until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then reduce heat to the lowest setting to keep it warm.
