Butternut Squash & Cranberries
Ingredients
Preparation
Place the cranberries and apple cider in a small bowl, then set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine the squash, half of the olive oil, all the spices, salt, and agave. Transfer this mixture to a foil-lined sheet pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. Once roasted, set the squash aside.
Bring water to a boil and add cavatelle with a pinch of salt. Boil for 15-18 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the remaining olive oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the roasted squash and cranberries to warm them up.
After the cavatelle is cooked and drained, add it to the pan and mix until well combined.
Optionally, serve the dish with grated Pecorino Romano on top.
This dish exudes warmth and comfort, making it a must-have pasta course this season.
