INGREDIENTS
For the Squash:
•1 pound butternut squash, seeds removed and peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
•1/2 tsp. salt
•1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
•1 tbsp. olive oil

For the Parmesan Cheese Sauce:
•3 tbsp. butter
•3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
•2 garlic clove, finely chopped
•1 1/2 cups 2% milk
•1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
•1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
•3 cups Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated

For the Pasta:
•Water, for boiling
•1 tsp. salt
•300 g fettucine


DIRECTIONS
• Preheat the air fryer or oven to 425 degrees F. Place the cubed squash on a parchment-lined baking tray and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and use your hands to toss everything to combine. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the oven as set aside.

• Next, make the sauce. Heat a small pot over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it fully melt. Next add the chopped garlic and cook for an additional 30 second before adding the flour. Use a whisk to combine the butter and flour and cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the flour taste.
• Add 1/2 cup of milk at time to the pot, whisking to fully combine before adding more. This will ensure that the sauce remains smooth and there will be no lumps. Continue this process until all the milk is added, then reduce the heat to low. Add in the ground nutmeg, pepper, and 2 cups of Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is fully melted, then remove from the heat and set aside for later.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tsp of salt. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Halfway through cooking, reserve 3/4 cup of pasta water for later use.
• Place the drained pasta to the sauce and toss to combine.
• You can enjoy the pasta as is, or bake it. To bake, place the pasta in an 8x8-inch baking dish that is lightly greased with olive oil. Top with 1 cup of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and broil at 500 degrees F for 2-3 minutes until bubbly and golden
