### Gluten-Free Butternut Sage Pasta
#### Ingredients:
– 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 pound gluten-free pasta of your choice
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
#### Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place the diced butternut squash on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
3. Roast the butternut squash in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
4. Cook the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
5. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and cook until crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the sage leaves and set them aside.
6. Add the roasted butternut squash to the skillet with the butter. Use a potato masher or fork to lightly mash the squash, leaving some chunks for texture.
7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the butternut squash. Toss to combine, adding a bit of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
8. Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and toss the pasta until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
9. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Crumble the crispy sage leaves on top for a burst of flavor and a gorgeous presentation.
10. Serve your Gluten-Free Butternut Sage Pasta hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh sage leaves. Enjoy the heartwarming flavors of this delightful dish!
