Recipe Share: Roasted Red Onion and Squash Pasta

My Martha Stewart Everyday Food came and the whole issues is dedicated to lighter cooking! Here's a recipe that I think will be delicious!

Roasted Red Onion and Squash Pasta
Serves 4, Total time: 30 min

2 medium red onions, cut into 6 wedges each, layers separated
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into 3/4" pieces*
1 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh sage leaves
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 pound short ridged pasta, such as rigatoni
1/4 cup grated fontina cheese (2 ounces)

1. Preheat oven to 450F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss onions, squash and sage with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer and roast until tender, about 25 minutes, rotating sheet and tossing vegetables halfway through.
2. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package direction. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta and return to pot. Add vegetables and cheese and toss to combine, adding enough pasta water to create a thin sauce that coats pasta.
