Spaghetti Squash With Walnuts, Sage And Brown Butter
- 3 pounds Spaghetti Squash
- 1+ teaspoons olive oil
- 12 Medium Sage Leaves
- 1/2 cup Coarsely Chopped Walnuts
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 Thick slice of Pancetta cut into 1/4" cubes
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Freshly Grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- Preheat oven to 400"
- During the last 10 minutes of baking the squash, heat a large frying pan over medium heat and cook pancetta, stirring often so that it is lightly brown and crisp on all sides. Add a bit of olive oil if the pan is too dry. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Pour accumulated fat from skillet but leave brown bits.
- Scrape a fork across the inside of the squash to form the spaghetti strands.
- Add butter to reserved skillet and melt over medium heat. When it has melted, add walnuts and toast, then add the remaining sage leaves, when they pop a bit and smell heavenly, add the reserved pancetta.
- Add the squash and toss to coat. Top with a sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano. rnrn*Urban Italian suggests that you serve inside the squash half skins.
