Ingredients

  • freshly grated pecorino romano
  • orecchiette
  • bacon
  • kale
  • butternut squash
  • olive oil

Instructions

  1. While the oven is preheating at 400°F, cut up the guanciale and butternut squash. Toss them onto a sheet pan, drizzle with the olive oil, shmoosh them around a little, and roast for 30 minutes. At this point, take the sheet pan out, stir in the kale, and place back into the oven to roast for another 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil and cook the orecchiette according to the box's instructions, usually 9 to 11 minutes or al dente. Drain and add back to the pot. Tip the contents of the sheet pan into the pasta pot and toss with the Pecorino Romano. Salt and pepper to taste.
