Instructions

1 In a bowl mix the butternut squash pieces with the olive oil and Italian
seasoning. Spread on a baking tray and place into an oven preheated to 175
Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for 25 minutes.
2 While the squash is roasting start on the pasta sauce. In a pan on medium heat
start frying the bacon. When the bacon is almost done add the onion and bell
pepper.
3 Next sprinkle in the flour and stir the pan so the flour can absorb the fat and
toast a bit. Then slowly trickle in the milk. It will thicken as it cooks. Start
boiling the pasta in salted water at this point.
4 When the pasta is al dente add it to the pan. You don't need to add extra pasta
water, this pasta shape retains quite a bit of water. If you use a different
shape add a tablespoon or two of the pasta water to create more sauce. Taste for
salt (the pasta water can be quite salty) and add salt if needed.
5 Add the roasted butternut squash and carefully mix everything up. Add in the
cheese and mix some more so the cheese melts into the pasta and sauce.
6 Serve with some micro greens or sprouts, some red chili flakes if you wish, and
enjoy!
