Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 425 F.
  • Using a large, sturdy knife, cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy bits from each half and discard.
  • Transfer the butternut squash, cut-side up to a baking dish and brush with olive oil. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
  • Roast in the oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until soft.
  • Remove from oven. Once cooled, scoop out the flesh into a food processor or blender.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of hot pasta water.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil, the chicken broth, herbs and remaining salt and pepper to the food processor. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
  • n a large saucepan, heat the remaining oil. Add fennel and mushrooms to the pan. Cook until the fennel becomes lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the pasta to the fennel mixture and toss to coat. Add the butternut squash sauce to the pan and stir to combine. Cook mixture until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the Swiss chard and cook until slightly wilted, about 3 minutes.
  • Place pasta into bowls or serve family-style. Top with Parmesan cheese.
