- 8 oz (250g) pasta mista
- 8 oz (250g) Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
- 8 oz (250g) butternut squash, cubed
- 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
- Vegetable broth, as needed (about 1.5 liters / 6 cups)
Method
8 steps- Add a generous drizzle of olive oil to a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery and sauté until softened.
- Add the tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute, stirring it into the vegetables.
- Add the cubed potatoes and butternut squash and sauté everything together for another minute.
- Season with salt and pour in enough vegetable broth to cover the vegetables.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes and squash begin to soften.
- Add the pasta directly to the pot. Add more broth as needed so there is enough liquid for the pasta to cook.
- Cook until the pasta is al dente, stirring often. As everything cooks together, the potatoes and squash will begin to break down and make the dish naturally creamy.
- Turn off the heat and stir in freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
