Comment préparer Baked Pasta With Butternut Squash And Ricotta
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Lightly coat a 2 1/2- to 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
- Peel, seed, and cube 1 medium butternut squash (about 1.5 lbs). Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast until tender, about 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a large bowl. Mash well.
- While the squash roasts, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of whole wheat penne pasta and cook according to package directions (about 8-10 minutes).
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until thickened (about 2 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in the mashed squash and 2 1/2 teaspoons of dried thyme.
- Add the cooked pasta to the squash sauce and gently toss to coat.
- Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Dot the top with 1 cup of ricotta cheese.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup toasted walnuts.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and bubbly.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme before serving.
