Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the butternut squash cubes with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt on a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are golden and the cubes are tender when pierced with a fork.

While the squash roasts, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente — tender with a slight resistance at the center. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining, then drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.
