Squash-shaped pasta served with a creamy butternut squash sauce in an acorn squash vessel. The fun but impractical idea includes a flavorful mixture of shallots, garlic, sage, chili flakes, and heavy cream, creating a delightful dish that's perfect for pasta lovers who want a twist on traditional presentation.
1: Purée one large butternut squash until smooth. 2: Sauté 2 shallots and 5 cloves of garlic until fragrant. 3: Add 3-4 chopped sage leaves and sprinkle in chili flakes. 4: Mix in the puréed squash and 1 cup of heavy cream. 5: Combine with cooked squash-shaped pasta, adding reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency. 6: Stir in two handfuls of grated Parmesan. 7: Season with salt and pepper to taste.
