    • 🎃 2 cups cubed butternut squash
    • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 🧄 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
    • 2 teaspoons rubbed dried sage

STEPS

1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 to 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add squash and sauté until fork-tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add garlic, sage, and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3

Fold in cream and spinach; bring to a simmer. Add 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Add ziti and toss until evenly coated. Cook until sauce has thickened, about 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

4

Divide between 8 bowls. Top with walnuts and more Parmesan.

💡 Tips

For a vegan version, substitute cream and Parmesan with a plant-based alternative such as cashew cream and nutritional yeast.Toast the walnuts for an extra nutty flavor before adding as a topping.Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet with a splash of milk or cream to restore the creamy texture.
