Ingredients
- 500 grams frozen brussels sprouts
- 500 grams frozen butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 450 grams pasta, cooked al dente, drained
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 jcup fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Toss the frozen brussels sprouts and frozen butternut squash with the olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Spread the veggies out onto a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes.
- While the veggies are roasting, prepare the pasta according to the package instructions, but cook for two minutes less than what the package recommends. Drain and set aside.
- Next, place the butter into a large skillet. Turn the heat to medium low. Allow the butter to melt. Once the butter starts to bubble, use a whisk to keep the butter moving. Continuously stirring until the butter has turned a deep amber colour.
- Don't walk away from the bubbling butter. It will burn very easily. The butter will bubble and will form a thick, white foamy/frothy top. Keep whisking slowly. This is normal and will soon evaporate.
- Next, add the garlic and stir into the butter. The garlic will sizzle and pop. The butter is quite hot, so it's important to move quickly.
- Once the garlic has browned slightly, add the cooked pasta and toss well with the butter. Turn off the heat.
- Next, add the roasted brussels sprouts and butternut squash. Add the parmesan and parsley. Toss gently to incorporate all of the elements of the recipe together.
- Plate and garnish with more parmesan. Serve immediately.
