Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • In a large bowl, toss squash with oil and salt and pepper. Arrange squash in a single layer on one or two baking sheets. Roast until tend tender, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of hot pasta water.
  • While pasta cooks, place a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the pancetta for 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes crispy. Add garlic, sage and kale to the skillet and cook until kale wilts slightly, about 2 minutes.
  • Add squash and drained pasta and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Remove pasta from heat and add egg mixture to the skillet. Toss quickly until egg thickens to create a sauce. Thin the sauce with a bit of the reserved hot pasta water, until desired consistency.
  • Season the carbonara with fresh pepper, salt and more Parmigiano-Reggiano. Serve.
