How to make the perfect creamy butternut squash pasta: cook’s tips

• Taking the time to dice the butternut squash pays off with less cooking time – big chunks will take longer to soften.

How to make butternut squash pasta in advance: This sauce can be fully made in advance and stored in the fridge for 2-3 days or even frozen.

Can I reheat butternut squash pasta? Defrost fully before gently reheating and then adding the pasta.

What can I do with leftovers? Any leftovers can be piled into an ovenproof dish, topped with breadcrumbs and grated cheese, then baked in a moderate oven until melted and toasty on top.

Method

• step 1

  Melt the butter and 1 tbsp of the oil in a large pan with a well-fitting lid over a gentle heat. Add the onion, garlic and butternut squash. Season well and toss to coat before covering and leaving to cook for 25-35 mins, occasionally stirring or shaking the pan to mix, until the squash is very soft.

• step 2

  Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a small frying pan and cook the rosemary for 1-2 mins, then set aside. When the squash is almost done, cook the linguine following the pack instructions. Drain the pasta, reserving 2-3 ladles of the pasta cooking water.

• step 3

  Add the cream to the butternut squash mix and blitz using a hand blender to a smooth consistency. Stir in the parmesan, then the pasta and pasta water. Drizzle over a little of the rosemary oil, add a good grinding of black pepper to taste, and serve.
