Let cool for 5–10 minutes, then blend 3/4 of the roasted mixture with the cottage cheese and ½–1 cup pasta water until creamy. Meanwhile, cook your pasta and save about 2 cups of pasta water. Brown the butter with the sage, pour in your squash sauce, season to taste and loosen with more pasta water as needed. Toss in the pasta, then finish with Parmesan + red pepper flakes. 🤎
