Purist southern italians would cringe at the use of seafood and cheese, but f-that. This is crazy delicious....
eva butternut squash and baby clam pasta sauce
Ingredients
1 butternut squash
1 cup chicken broth
butter
garlic
salt & pepper
1 can baby clams
tubular pasta like rigatoni or penne
Remove the skin of the butternut squash and throw out the seeds/flesh from inside. Dice the butternut squash into small pieces. Bring one cup of chicken broth to a boil and throw in the squash, lowering the heat after 1 minute. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the squash is nice and tender. When it has become soft, drain the water and mash the squash with a potato masher, add butter. Make the pasta at around this point. In a pan on medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter, and 1 - 2 cloves of thinly sliced garlic. Drain the baby clams and throw them onto the pan. Add salt and pepper and after a few minutes add the butternut squash (which should be thick, not runny). Mix everything slowly, add pesto if desired. Your pasta should be ready at this point. Throw it into the mix, then serve.
Add parmigiano to taste.
