Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 5 cups Butternut Squash (about 1 large butternut squash)
  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 2 hefty pinches Kosher Salt (just shy of 1/2 tsp)
  • 1 hefty pinch Red pepper Flakes (optional)
  • 8 oz Feta Cheese
  • 1 lb Pasta (such as rotini, orzo, or ditalini)
  • 10 leaves Fresh Sage (minced)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 tbsp Hot Honey (regular honey is fine too)

Seasonings

  • to taste Fresh Cracked Black Pepper

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place in a baking dish with feta in the center. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Increase oven to 450°F (230°C). Bake for another 5-10 minutes until feta is browned. Meanwhile, cook pasta until al dente, then drain, reserving 2 cups of pasta water.
