INGREDIENTS
•
2 medium delicata squash, scrubbed and rinsed well
•
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
•
sea salt
•
freshly ground black pepper
•
1 packed cup of flat-leaf parsley leaves
•
3/4 cup raw or toasted walnut halves (if you’re not using roasted walnut oil, I recommend toasting the walnuts!)

2 – 3 medium garlic cloves
•
6-7 large, fresh sage leaves
•
1/2 cup roasted walnut oil (highly recommend La Tourangelle)
•
kosher salt
•
freshly ground black pepper
•
fresh sage leaves, for frying (I like to garnish each serving with 3-4 leaves)
•
roughly 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
•
1 lb dried whole wheat penne (I used DeLallo’s whole wheat penne rigate!)
•
1/2 cup finely grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, plus more for garnishing
