Ingredients
- 1 pound dry farfalle pasta
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups finely mashed cooked butternut squash
- 8 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 8 ounces coarsely chopped Brie cheese (rind removed)
- 1 cup shredded fontina cheese
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh sage leaves
- 1 cup finely grated Gruyere cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Add pasta to water and cook for 8 minutes, or until al dente; drain well, and reserve in a large mixing bowl.
Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute, or until golden. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 additional minute. Whisk in milk, and butternut squash, and bring mixture to a low boil. Reduce heat to low, whisk in Gorgonzola, Brie, fontina, salt, and pepper, until cheese is melted, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Pour cheese sauce over the pasta and stir well to combine. Divide the pasta mixture into buttered individual gratin dishes or a buttered 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle pecans and sage over pasta; melt the additional 2 tablespoons butter, and drizzle evenly over the top. Sprinkle Gruyere over the pecans and sage.
Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

One of the most delicious pastas i have made- though i left out the brie cause i thought it would be too heavy and added walnuts.

I made this after watching the episode, it was delicious! You do lose the butternut squash flavor, but, as a mom with picky kids, it was a good way to sneak in a "veggie" Its got a wonderful, creamy, slightly sweet, cheesy flavor. I made one mod- substituted crumbled bacon for pecans, and I sauted the sage for a minute to bring it out. I will make this again, and again.
