Yield: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • ¾ cup chopped sweet onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1½ cups vegetable broth
  • 1½ cups pureed butternut squash
  • 1 sprig fresh sage
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 4-5 minutes, or until translucent and tender. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the vegetable broth, butternut squash, sage, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, according to package direction. Add the greens in the last minute of cooking and then drain.
