Method

Jamie Oliver 155x255

  1. Boil the kettle. Scrub the squash (there’s no need to peel it), carefully halve it lengthways and deseed, then chop into 1cm chunks. Put 1⁄2 tbsp oil in a large, deep, lidded frying pan on a medium heat. Scatter in half the sage leaves and fry until crisp, then place on kitchen paper.
  2. Put the squash in the pan and pour in 400ml boiling water to cover. Peel and finely slice the onion and garlic, then add to the pan with the remaining sage leaves. Bring everything to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 8-10 mins until the squash is almost cooked through.
  3. Cook the tagliatelle in salted boiling water to pack instructions. Remove the lid from the squash and bubble for 8 mins until all the water has evaporated. Add 1⁄2 tbsp oil and cook for 5 mins until the squash has started to brown.
  4. Drain the pasta, reserving a large mugful of the cooking water, then add to the squash pan and gently toss the pasta into the pan. Grate over most of the Parmesan, and stir in the mascarpone and chilli flakes. Add splashes of cooking water while gently stirring until you have a silky sauce. Season with sea salt and black pepper, scatter with the crispy sage leaves, then grate over the remaining Parmesan and serve.
