Ingredients

8 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package ziti
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups cubed butternut squash
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 2 teaspoons rubbed dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add squash and sauté until fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add garlic, sage, and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • 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, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Divide between 8 bowls. Top with walnuts and more Parmesan.
