Method
1
Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6.
2
Place the butternut squash onto a large baking tray and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover with foil and roast in the oven for 20-23 minutes or until soft. Remove and set aside.
3
Boil a large pan of salted water and cook the pasta for 8 minutes or until al dente. Strain and reserve 100ml of pasta water.
4
Meanwhile, melt the Lurpak® butter in a deep-sided pan. Add the sage and chilli flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the roasted squash and the reserved pasta water. Stir for a minute until the squash just starts to break down and a sauce is formed.
5
Add the pappardelle to the squash and stir for 1 minute. Stir in the pine nuts and grated Pecorino and serve.
