Ingredients

12 oz box penne pasta
4 cups butternut squash
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup pecans
3/4 cup shallot
4 cloves garlic
3 tbsp fresh sage (optional)
2 oz goat cheese

Steps

Boil the penne in salted water according to the package directions, then drain it and reserve 1 cup cooking water.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the pecans and panko for 3 to 4 minutes.
Transfer the toasted pecans and panko to a bowl, then melt the remaining butter in the skillet.
Cook the shallot, garlic, sage, and squash for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often, until the squash is tender.
Add the pasta and goat cheese, then stir in enough cooking water to make a light sauce.
Season with salt and pepper, then top the pasta with the toasted pecan mixture.
