Ingredients:
12 ounces pappardelle or fettuccine pasta |
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, divided |
3 cups 1/2-inch cubes butternut squash (from 1-pound squash) |
8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps sliced |
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage |
1 5- to 6-ounce package baby spinach |
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided |

Add mushrooms, sage, and remaining 1/4 cup butter; sauté until mushrooms are soft and squash is tender, about 8 minutes. Add spinach; stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Add pasta to sauce in skillet. Toss to coat, adding pasta cooking liquid by 1/4 cupfuls if dry. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese.
