Ingredients

  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 2 sage leaves
  • 4 cloves of garlic pressed
  • 1 cup of sherry
  • 1 small butternut squash peeled, seeded and cut into small cubes
  • 3 cups of chopped kale stems removed
  • 16 ounces of mushrooms cut into slices
  • 1 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup of walnuts
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound of spaghetti cooked according to package directions

Instructions

  • Heat a large saute pan over medium heat with two tablespoons of olive oil. Add the butter and let it melt, stirring frequently. As the butter begins to brown, add the sage and continue to stir. Cook the sage leaves for about a minute, until the sage wilts and releases its fragrance. Pull the sage leaves out. Add the 4 cloves of pressed garlic, butternut squash and sherry. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, covered for 30 to 40 minutes or until the squash is fork tender. Stir periodically while it cooks. When squash is tender, add mushrooms and stir. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for two to three minutes, then add the kale. Season with salt and pepper. Stir continuously when kale is added until the kale is cooked down to less than half the initial volume. Finish by stirring in cooked spaghetti, cheeses and walnuts.

Notes

Feel free to use precut squash and to cut down on prep time.
