Roasted Butternut Squash & Garlic Pasta With Bacon, Onions and Sage

Totally freaking awesome meal!

Recipe for four:

1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed into 1" cubes
1 small yellow onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 sage leaves, thinly sliced
6 rashes bacon, cut with scissors into small 1/4" strips
1/4 c white wine
1/4 c veggie stock
olive oil
butter
salt and pepper
pasta

Set the oven to 375* - Put the squash onto a baking sheet, toss with olive oil and add a little salt and pepper.  Bang it in the oven and pour yourself a nice glass of wine!  Roast until caramelized, about 45 minutes.

Start your pasta water, and cook the pasta when the waters boiling.

Cook the bacon over medium heat in a heavy saute pan, with a little olive oil.  Cook until crispy, and transfer to a bowl, and set aside.  Using the same pan, add the onion, garlic, sage and season with a little salt and pepper.  Cook until soft.

When almost done add the wine. Cook until reduced down all the way.  Then add the stock and do the same.

Drain the pasta, and return it to the pan, and add a little extra virgin olive oil and toss.  Add the pasta to the onion mix, stir and serve onto warm plates.  Now you can add the squash and bacon to the dish.

Bon Appetit!  Chef Hobbes
