Baked Squash Pasta


By A little bit of everything (Visit website)



Monday again. How was your weekend? Hope you had a wonderful one. 
Mine was great. Spend it with my family, with lots of indoor activities on Saturday and yesterday we did some grocery shopping and went downtown for a walk. 
The weather changed overnight. After the sleet on Saturday yesterday there were about 70's and today it reached 84F.
Hooray for the Spring!!
After a weekend spent away from the kitchen, today I had to turn the oven on. Well, not exactly the dish you were expecting but still is baked. Probably you figured out I'm not that good as a cook, not that I'm a great baker, but I do OK. 




This coming weekend is hubby's birthday. As usual, this week is all about him. 
This dish is one of his favorite way to eat squash. To be honest, it's kinda the only way he eats it, and sometimes in soup, but just sometimes. 
The sweetness of the squash makes a great pair with the salted cheese and all tight together by some pasta. This may not be your everyday pasta dish, but give it a try and let me know what you think. 


Let's turn the oven on and bake some squash pasta 






Cook 9 oz fresh pasta al dente. I used a refrigerated package of fettuccine. 
Meanwhile, shred 10 oz butternut squash 


10 oz of cheese - a blend of hard cheese - I used Parmesan, Fontina and Dubliner




Finely chop few garlic cloves and about 2 tbsp fresh parsley 






In a large bowl place the cook and slightly cooled pasta 




Mix in the squash and about half of the cheese 




Add the garlic, parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Keep in mind that the cheeses are a little salty.






Place the mixture into a well buttered shallow dish 




Pour 1 1/2 cups light or heavy cream. We used half and half in the past and decided to stick to the cream version. 




Top with the remaining cheese and bake in preaheted oven, at 400F, for about 30 minutes until the cream is absorbed and squash is cooked. 






Cool slightly and serve. 




Thank you everyone for visiting and taking the time to leave few words. They put a smile on my face :)
As usual, 
Roxana
