This dish is full of flavour and is particularly easy to make. The butternut squash makes a lovely addition to the dish - you'll wonder why you never used it like this before.
1 medium butternut squash, cut into small cubes
3tbsp olive oil
350g pasta
6 slices pancetta
Fresh parsley to garnish
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas mark 6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Make sure the butternut is cut into cubes and toss with 2 tbsp of the oil in a small bowl.
Spoon onto the baking tray and place in the oven for about 10 minutes. Remove and leave in a large bowl.
While you are roasting the butternut squash cook the pasta according to packet instructions about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Heat the rest of the oil on a medium temperature and cook the pancetta for about 5 minutes until slightly crispy.
Add the pancetta to the bowl of butternut squash and toss together.
Spoon the pasta onto a plate and top with the squash and pancetta mix.
Garnish with the parsley before serving.
