This gorgeous-looking pasta dish features lots of butternut squash, kale, Pecorino Romano cheese, fresh rosemary, and toasted pine nuts, a delicious combination that we love when the temperatures start to drop. After roasting the squash, the sauce comes together in the pot that you cooked the pasta in, making cleanup a breeze. You'll love how much flavor you get with minimal effort. You can also toast the pine nuts in the microwave if you so desire. Simply place them in a small microwavable bowl and microwave on High, stirring once halfway through, until they're lightly browned, which should take about 45 seconds.
