Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sage and fry for a couple
    of minutes until crisp. Remove to a plate and set aside. Add the garlic, onion and fennel, and cook gently for 5 mins until lightly softened. Tip in the squash and beans, then pour in the stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 7-8 mins, then lightly mash the beans and squash using a fork, keeping the mixture quite chunky. Season well.

  • step 2

    Add the tagliatelle along with 750ml boiling water from the kettle and cook for a further 8-10 mins until most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir through the ricotta. Season to taste. Serve straightaway with the fried sage leaves scattered over.

I love pumpkin/squash pastas but recipe didn’t work out for us. The sauce was completely liquidy and soupy after following the recipe, unlike the photo, and it was a too bland. We won’t be coming back to this one.

Lovely - but seemed to take longer than the recipe said to get the butternut squash to a mashable state. 7-8 mins didn’t do the trick, even with the squash diced pretty small. Needed an extra 10 min, I found.

Could I leave out the pasta?

question

Would dried sage work

Hi, thanks for your question. If you only have dried sage then you can use it, but we’d suggest adding it with the garlic and incorporating it into the dish, rather than frying it as a garnish. You’ll only want a small pinch as it’s quite strong - about 1/4 teaspoon should be plenty. We hope this…

Can you freeze this once made ??

Hi, thanks for your question. This is perfectly safe to freeze. It would need to be defrosted in the fridge overnight then reheated with a splash of water or stock until piping hot. We hope this helps, BBC Good Food Team.
