  • 1 bunch flat leaf parsley, stems and leaves separated, each finely chopped

Preparation

Pre-heat the oven to 475°F. On a baking sheet, drizzle the squash with some of the EVOO; season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Roast until just tender and brown at the edges, about 17-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the penne and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta; reserve 1 cup of the starchy cooking water.

While the pasta is cooking, heat 1/4 cup EVOO in a large skillet, four turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the parsley stems, garlic, ginger, chili pepper and scallion whites; swirl for 2-3 minutes. Add the stock and reduce the heat to simmer. Add half a ladleful of the pasta cooking water to the sauce. Add the pasta, parsley leaves, scallion greens, squash and cheese to the skillet. Stir to combine. Adjust the seasonings, to taste.
