Pappardelle with Butternut Squash, Walnuts, and Baby Kale
From: Saveur
SERVES 2–4
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1” pieces
2 tbsp. olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
8 oz. pappardelle
12 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 cup walnuts, toasted and lightly crushed
3 cups baby kale
Heat oven to 425°. Toss squash with oil, and salt and pepper to taste; spread out in a single layer on a baking tray and bake 25 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse; set aside.
Heat butter in a 12” skillet over medium heat; cook until milky foam settles at the bottom of the skillet and turns nut brown. Toss in pasta, squash, and walnuts; add baby kale and toss until just wilted. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
