Ingredients
Method
For the squash:
Mix the diced squash with the oil in a roasting tin and season well. Roast at 170℃ for ten minutes. Add the garlic and sage and turn. Roast for a further 20-30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes. The squash wants to be tender and just starting to char on the edges. Discard the sage and garlic.
For the Parmigiano Reggiano cream:
Reduce the alcohols to a syrup in a small saucepan. Add the stock and reduce by half. Add the cream and reduce by half again. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Stir in the grated Parmigiano Reggiano and season well with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
To Serve:
cook the pasta in a large quantity of boiling water until al dente. Remove with tongs to a sauté pan and add the squash. Toss together and add the Parmigiano Reggiano cream. Add a little of the pasta water to thin and check the seasoning.
Divide the pasta between shallow bowls and dress with the Parmigiano Reggiano shavings and sage leaves. Drizzle over the 25 year old Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena P.D.O.
