Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Prepare your squash by cutting off the ends, cutting it in half, and peeling the half of the squash that you plan to use.

Load the squash on the spiralizer and spiralize the whole half. You can also use a peeler to peel the squash into long thin, noodle like, strips. Using clean kitchen scissors, roughly cut the noodles so that they are about the same length as traditional pasta.

Place the noodles on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with S&P, and toss the pasta to coat it all.

Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the pasta is tender but not crispy at all.

Plate the pasta on 2 plates and top each plate with half of the butter, half of the parsley, and half of the cheese. ENJOY!!! Easy, right??

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pre-Roast for Concentrated Sweetness 🔥
Roast butternut squash cubes at 425°F for 25-30 minutes before spiralizing to caramelize natural sugars and intensify flavor, creating a richer pasta sauce base.
Dry Your Spiralized Squash 🧽
Pat spiralized butternut squash with paper towels or let it sit in a colander for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, preventing a watery, diluted sauce.
Create a Silky Brown Butter Emulsion 🧈
Cook butter over medium heat until nutty and golden, then whisk in 2-3 tablespoons of pasta water to create a luxurious, cohesive sauce that clings beautifully to the squash noodles.
Toast Your Parmesan for Depth 🧀
Lightly toast grated Parmesan in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before adding to amplify its savory umami notes and prevent clumping when mixed with warm pasta.
Add Fresh Herbs at Two Stages 🌿
Reserve half your fresh parsley to stir in during cooking for depth, and add the remaining half just before serving for bright, fresh aromatics that elevate the dish.
