Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb dried tubular pasta, such as strozzapreti or 1 lb penne
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded , and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 lb)
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
coarse salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more
extra virgin olive oil , for serving
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, thinly sliced
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh ricotta cheese

Directions:

Fill a saucepan fitted with a steamer basket with 1/2-inch water and bring to a boil over high heat. Place squash in steamer basket and cook, covered, until easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook butter, stirring, until melted and just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add pecans and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Add squash and stir gently to combine; season with salt and pepper.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Generously salt water and return to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain and return to pot. Add olive oil and parsley and season with salt and pepper; toss to combine.
Divide pasta evenly between 4 plates and spoon squash mixture on top of pasta. Sprinkle over parmesan and top each with a dollop of ricotta. Drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately.
