Mediterranean Squash Pasta

Mediterranean Squash Pasta

The squash caramelizes at the edges while brown butter pulls its sweetness toward the savory side. Green olives add sharp little interruptions to a pasta that feels rich without a heavy sauce.

Butter Club Notes

The old menu called this Andalusian Pasta, but for the website I’d lead with what makes the dish work: brown butter, butternut squash, olives, beans, sage, and Parmesan. The squash brings sweetness, the olives bring salt, the cannellini beans make it feel like a real entrée, and the brown butter ties everything together with that nutty richness. This is one of those pastas where you don’t need a heavy sauce. You just need good pasta water, browned butter, and the right balance of sweet and salty.
