Pasta with Walnuts, Sage and Winter Squash

Pasta with Walnuts, Sage and Winter Squash

Pasta with Walnuts, Sage and Winter Squash

I found this recipe in Newsday, January 24, 2013…hope you enjoy it.  This recipe calls for Red Onions, but if you’re like me, I don’t like onions (red or white) that aren’t fully cooked.  So I would leave the out or fry them.

Pasta with Walnuts, Sage and Winter Squash Recipe

Pasta with Walnuts, Sage and Winter Squash

1 (4 inch) red onion, cut across in half, then into ¼ inch wedges

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 ½ lbs. winter squash, cut into 1 inch pieces (5 to 6 cups)

½ tsp. salt, divided

1/8 tsp. black pepper

8 oz. gemelli pasta (about 2 cups)

1 Tbsp. butter

1 Tbsp. chopped fresh sage (about 5 large leaves)

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

¼ cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Preheat the oven to 425 F.  Coat two baking sheets pans with cooking spray.

Lay the onions slices out in a single layer on the first baking sheet; brush lightly with about 1/2 tablespoon of the oil.

Toss the squash with the remaining oil, ¼ teaspoon salt and the black pepper.  Place in a single layer on the second baking sheet.  Roast squash and onions for 10 minutes, then turn them and return to the oven, rotating pans.  Roast until the squash is fork tender and the onions golden, another 10 minutes. 

While the vegetables roast, cook the pasta in a large pot of slightly salted boiling water until al dente.  Drain.

Melt butter in now-empty pasta pot; stir in the sage and cook until butter is golden brown, about 1 minute.  Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt and the walnuts.  Add drained pasta and toss thoroughly.  Gently stir in the squash and onions.       4 servings

Walnut Tarts Cookie Recipe

Walnut Tarts Cookie Recipe

The Walnut Tart Cookie Recipe I got from the back of the package of the Rowco Tart Tassie.  The first time I made the walnut tarts, was back in 1986.  When I had made the walnut tarts (I had made 3 recipes at once), I only had one of the little tart pan; it has 12 little tarts in the pan.  Well, it had taken so long to make them, that when the walnut tarts were done, I went out to buy 4 more pans.  So keep that in mind when you make the walnut tarts.
