Roasted Squash With Pancetta And Sage Food

ROASTED SQUASH, PANCETTA & CHESTNUT RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the squash with 1⁄2 tbsp of oil, chilli flakes and some seasoning on a large roasting tray. Roast for 15 mins, then add the chestnuts and nestle the sage and pancetta around the squash so that they touch the baking sheet. Return to the oven for 8-10 mins until the pancetta and sage are crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside. When cool, tear the pancetta and sage leaves into pieces.
• Heat the remaining oil in a sauté pan over a low heat. Add the shallots and cook for 8 mins until softened but not coloured. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Tip in the pearl barley, toast for a minute, then pour in the stock.
• Working in small amounts, add the stock to the pan and cook, stirring over a medium heat until all the liquid is absorbed by the barley - about 20 mins. When there is only a little liquid left, stir in the roasted ingredients to warm through. Season to taste. Serve with Parmesan.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
• Line a large baking pan or roasting pan with aluminum foil. Lightly oil the foil or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• With a vegetable peeler or Y-peeler, remove the skin from the squash. Slice in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
• In a large bowl, toss the squash and onion chunks with the olive oil, pepper, and sage. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
• Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the squash is tender and lightly browned.
• Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed.
• Serve hot and enjoy.

ROASTED SQUASH WITH PANCETTA AND SAGE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the squash into 1/2-inch cubes and put them in a large bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss to coat.
• Spread the squash on a baking sheet in one layer and roast for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through. (You may need to turn the pan several times for even browning.) Remove, and cool to room temperature on the baking sheet.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until barely crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the garlic and sage. Spoon the pancetta, garlic and sage evenly over the squash.
• With a spatula, carefully pile the squash into an oven-proof serving dish. If not serving immediately, keep at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours; or cover and refrigerate, then bring to room temperature, before reheating in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes.

PASTA WITH ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SAGE

Steps:

• Dice the squash into half-inch cubes, and toss with olive oil and a dash of salt and pepper.
• Place on a greased baking sheet.
• Heat the oven to 350°, and roast the squash until soft.
• Roasting time will vary from 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the age of the squash.
• Remove from the oven and toss the squash with the chopped sage to infuse the flavor.
• Let cool.
• In a hot skillet, toast the breadcrumbs.
• (If desired, sauté a little garlic in oil until brown, then add the breadcrumbs and continue toasting.) In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the pasta.
• Cook until the pasta is al dente (meaning it has a bit of resistance when bitten into).
• Drain the pasta, then toss with the squash, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.
• (If the pasta seems too dry, toss with a little chicken or vegetable stock, or a bit of the pasta water.) Garnish with fried sage leaves and Parmesan cheese shavings.

PENNE WITH ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, PANCETTA, AND SAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place butternut squash on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil; season with salt. Transfer to oven and roast until squash is browned and tender, about 15 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Generously salt water and return to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, according to package directions. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Set pasta and reserved cooking liquid aside.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add pancetta and cook until just crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Add shallots, crushed red pepper, and sage. Cook until shallots are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add penne and squash and toss gently, adding reserved pasta cooking liquid as necessary to moisten.
• Add cheese and black pepper and cook, tossing gently, until pasta and squash are heated through. Serve immediately with more grated cheese, if desired.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 3-4 minutes, until starting to crisp. Add the sage leaves and continue cooking until the pancetta and sage are crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Reduce the heat to medium low, then add the shallot and garlic to the skillet, along with more oil if needed and a pinch of salt. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add the butternut squash and chicken stock. Cover and bring to boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the squash is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the squash mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Add the cream and blend to incorporate.
• Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente.
• Pour the sauce back into the pan and return to medium heat. Season with salt, then gradually add the Parmesan, stirring between each addition to prevent clumping.
• Reserve some of the pasta cooking water, then transfer the pasta directly from the boiling water into the sauce. Toss until well coated, adding some of the reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce. Add about half of the crisped pancetta and sage and stir to incorporate.
• Transfer the pasta to serving bowls and garnish with the remaining sage and pancetta.
• Enjoy!
