BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND RADICCHIO WITH FARFALLE

About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

Sweet and savory, this pasta dish is perfect for dinner in the fall when local butternut squash is at its peak flavor. The slightly bitter radicchio makes a nice counterpoint to the sweetness of the squash.

SERVES 6

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups chopped butternut squash (1-inch cubes)
  • 2 cups farfalle pasta
  • 3 ½ cups chicken or vegetable stock or store-bought chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 small heads radicchio, cored and thinly sliced
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • ¼ cup toasted pine nuts for garnish

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with the oil in the pressure cooker over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the apple and squash and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the squash begins to turn golden.
  3. Add the farfalle and stock.
  4. Lock the lid in place and cook at high pressure for 7 minutes.
  5. Quick release the pressure and remove the lid, tilting the pot away from you to avoid the escaping steam.
  6. Stir the radicchio into the pot and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the cheese.
  7. Serve immediately, garnishing each serving with some of the pine nuts.
