Ingredients

1 medium butternut squash peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
2 shallots halved
4 cloves garlic peeled
2 tablespoons DeLallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 ½ cup chicken stock
1 (1-pound) package DeLallo Fettuccine Egg Pasta or 1 (1-pound) package DeLallo Tagliatelle Pasta
½ cup heavy cream
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Directions

On a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the butternut squash, shallots, garlic and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer into a 425°F oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until the squash is fork-tender.
While the butternut squash is roasting, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup of the cooking liquid.
Once the squash is tender, remove and transfer to a blender with the garlic and shallots with chicken stock. Blend until smooth. Add the cream, nutmeg and reserved cooking liquid and continue to blender. Once smooth, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Transfer the liquid to a medium pot and keep over low heat to keep warm.
Add a few large spoonful’s of the sauce to the pasta and toss to combine. Continuing adding sauce until it’s as saucy as you want. Serve with pecorino, herbs and freshly cracked black pepper.
