Pappardelle with Roasted Winter Squash, Arugula, and Pine Nuts
Easy and filling, this handsome entrée is a good choice for a weeknight vegetarian dinner.
4 cups (1-inch) cubed peeled butternut squash 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided Cooking spray 8 ounces uncooked pappardelle (wide ribbon pasta) or fettuccine 1 tablespoon butter margarine 2 tablespoons pine nuts 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 cups trimmed arugula 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Asiago cheese I would just leave this out 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 475°. Combine squash, vinegar, oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; toss well to coat. Arrange squash mixture in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 475° for 25 minutes or until tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
While squash bakes, cook pasta according to the package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1 tablespoon cooking liquid.
Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pine nuts, sage, and garlic; cook 3 minutes or just until the pine nuts begin to brown, stirring occasionally. Place pasta, reserved cooking liquid, pine nut mixture, and squash mixture in a large bowl; toss gently to combine. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, arugula, cheese, and black pepper; toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.

I think sweet potato that is shaved with a Y style veg peeler would be a good substitute if you don't like squash. I would put cheese on other's pasta but not mine. Also good pappardelle pasta would be worth buying for this.
