Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups (2 10-inch squash) butternut squash noodles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • pink salt
  • cracked black pepper
  • 1 stick unsalted butter sliced into tablespoons
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (depending on taste) grated
  • Fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss the squash noodles with the olive oil and salt and pepper and spread out on the baking sheet.
  • Roast the noodles for 7 to 10 minutes, or until they soften.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepot, heat the butter over medium heat until it melts. It will begin to foam a bit and that is good. That is your signal to start the work.
  • Now whisk whisk whisk and whisk some more. You want to keep that butter moving. It will go from light, to lemony yellow, to brown. Once this happens, and you will smell that lovely nutty smell. You are done. Remove it from the heat and pour it into a cool container to stop the cooking process.
  • You can strain the butter to remove and little bits but we like the flavor so I keep them in. Toss your squash pasta in the browned butter, pile it on a plate, top with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
