Creamy Fettuccine with Squash, Blue Cheese and Pine Nuts
Instructions
1 Roast squash
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Peel the butternut squash, slice it in half and, using a spoon, remove the seeds. Chop the squash into bite-size pieces. Place the squash on a large baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt. Roast in the oven for 25-30 min or until golden and crisp.
2 Toast nuts
Toast the pine nuts in a hot, dry pan for 2 min or until starting to brown. Transfer to a plate. Reserve the pan.
3 Boil pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook for 8-10 min until 'al dente' or cooked to your liking. Drain and reserve a cup of pasta water.
4 Make sauce
Meanwhile, finely slice the garlic and sage leaves. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the garlic with a pinch of salt and cook for 1 min. Add the cream, sage, measured water and vegetable stock cube and simmer for 4 min. Season with salt and pepper.
5 Finish pasta
Once ready, add the roasted squash and half of the toasted pine nuts to the creamy sauce. Stir through the fettuccine. Add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen, if needed. Finally, crumble the blue cheese into the sauce and stir until just combined. Season with plenty of black pepper and salt.
6 Serve
Serve the pasta with the remaining pine nuts as a garnish.
Tips for fussy eaters
Replace the blue cheese with grated Parmesan.
Pro tip
Starchy pasta water helps creamy sauces to cling to the pasta!
