- 2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock + extra if needed
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese use the real stuff! + extra to taste
Instructions
- Bring large pot of salted water to boil for pasta. Stir in half a pound of short cut pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- While pasta is cooking, bring butternut squash and chicken stock to boil in a separate pot. Cover and simmer 10-15 minutes or until squash is fork tender.
- Using a potato masher, mash squash into a paste. DO NOT drain out the chicken stock. This will make the sauce.
- Stir in garlic, salt, pepper, butter and 3/4 of the cheese and cooked pasta. Stir and add in more chicken stock to make sauce the consistency you desire, if needed. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top and serve immediately.
