Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups Butternut Squash (cubed)
  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 block (8 oz) Feta Cheese
  • 1 lb Pasta (such as rotini or orzo)
  • 10 leaves Fresh Sage (minced)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • Salt and Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
  • Optional: Hot Honey for sweetness

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Toss cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place in a baking dish with the feta block nestled in the center. Drizzle olive oil over the feta and add red pepper flakes if desired. Bake for 30 minutes.
  3. After 30 minutes, stir gently to prevent burning. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the feta is golden brown.
  4. Meanwhile, boil salted water and cook pasta until al dente; reserve 2 cups of pasta water before draining.
  5. Remove baked squash and feta from the oven; stir in minced garlic, sage, and honey while hot. Mix in drained pasta and add reserved pasta water gradually until creamy.
  6. Season to taste with more salt and pepper.
