Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the delicata squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  2. Toss the squash with sliced sweet onion, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta as per package directions until al dente, then drain.
  4. Melt butter in a pot over low heat. Add minced garlic and chopped sage, cooking for 5-6 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Stir in flour to form a roux, then whisk in milk gradually until the sauce thickens.
  6. Fold in the roasted squash and onions, followed by the cooked pasta. Heat through for 1-2 minutes before serving.
