Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

On a large baking sheet, spread your cubed butternut squash across the sheet. Season with olive oil, chili flakes, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper.

Step 3

Bake for 30 minutes or until the butternut squash is nice and soft.

Step 4

Once done, remove and let slightly cool. Then place in a food processor. Add in the garlic sauce and parmesan cheese, then puree until smooth.

Step 5

Cook your pasta to your desired doneness. Save 1 cup of the pasta water, which we will mix with the sauce.

Step 6

Add 2 tbsp butter to a pan on medium heat. Add some sage and crisp slightly (should take 30 seconds - 1 min max).

Step 7

Remove the sage from the pan and add 1 more tbsp of butter. Add in your chopped sage and chopped rosemary and cook for 30 seconds.

Step 8

Add your butternut squash mixture to the pan. Slowly add some pasta water, stirring into the sauce until you reach your desired thickness. Add a little parmesan cheese at the end.

Step 9

Plate your pasta and pour over your sauce mixture. You can also alternatively toss your pasta in the sauce too. Sprinkle a little parmesan cheese over everything and top with a few pieces of crispy sage. Enjoy!
