Chef tips
To bring out the best in the butternut squash, roast it in the oven with olive oil until golden before tossing with the linguine; the caramelization adds a rich sweetness that pairs perfectly with the sage. For an extra touch, top with toasted walnuts for a satisfying crunch. If you'd like a richer, dairy version, grate some kosher Parmesan or Pecorino over the hot pasta.
