Roasted Butternut Squash over Pasta
Roasted Vegetables
3-3-1/2 lbs. squash )1 medium sized whole), peeled, seeded, cubed
1 onion, but into 1"pieces
2 big handfuls of lettuce (can also use swiss chard or spinach), torn into bite-size pieces
1/4 C parsley, minced
10 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1/3 C olive oil
1/4 T red peper flakes (optional)
1 T brown sugar

Pasta
1 lb. Farfalle pasta ("bowties")
1/2 C half-and-half (can also use milk)
1-1/2 C shredded Asiago cheese
Set oven to 450 degrees. Toss together all ingredients under "roasted veggies" except salt & pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and bake for 25 minutes. Turn veggies 2-3 times during this segment. When squash is tender, set oven to brroil and adjust racks to higher position. Broil for 5 minutes until squash is crusty and greens wilted. Scrape veggies into a bowl. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain. Add pasta, half-and-half, and cheese to veggies. Toss. Salt & pepper to taste. Serve warm. YUM!
