Squash Sauce for Pasta or Rice

 

2 Tbls butter

1 medium onion, diced

salt

2 garlic cloves minced

2 pounds squash (delicata, banana squash or butternut)

2 tsps fresh sage, minced

1 cup vegetable stock

1/2 cup heavy cream

black pepper

1 pound pasta (fusilli,ziti, penne,spirals,or gemelli)

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

2 T parsley

 

Melt butter over a low medium heat, add onion, garlic and a dash of salt, and

sauté about 5 minutes, until soft. Peel, seed, and dice the squash (1/2-inch

pieces). Add to onion along with sage and mix well. Add stock, bring to boil,

reduce heat, cover, and simmer about 5 minutes, until squash is tender. Add

cream and pepper and simmer about 2 minutes, until just starting to thicken.

If it's too dry, add a bit of the cooking liquid. Taste, adjust seasonings, and

serve on rice or tossed with pasta, with a dish of Parmesan on the side.
