How to Make Tagliatelle With Squash Chili Ricotta

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium butternut squash (about 1 lb), peeled, seeded, and cubed, to the skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook for 2 minutes more, until fragrant.
  4. While the squash cooks, cook 8 ounces of tagliatelle pasta according to package directions.
  5. Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the squash. Stir in the reserved pasta water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley. Toss to combine.
  7. Serve immediately, topped with 2 ounces of ricotta cheese and the remaining parsley.
