Instructions 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Spread the squash in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
  • While the squash is roasting, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Add the cooked pasta and roasted butternut squash to the skillet, tossing to combine and coat everything in the sauce.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
