Ingredients
- 1 box pasta of choice
- 3 cups butternut squash, cubed

- 3 tbsp olive oil 1/4 cup rosemary 1 white onion, halved
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup cream
- 1 cup pasta water

- Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. 2. Slice the tops off of the garlic bulbs and add to tin foil. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over & salt. Wrap in tin foil and place on a baking sheet with butternut squash, mushrooms and fresh rosemary. Top veggies with olive oil, salt & pepper. Add to oven for 35-40 minutes. At the 25-minute mark, check on veggies and if the mushrooms are cooked. Remove and set aside in a bowl with rosemary.
- Cook pasta according to box instructions and reserve 1 cup of pasta water. Set it aside in a bowl.
