Baked Pasta with Summer Squash and Broccolini House Pancetta Ingredients: Pasta Summer squash Broccolini Pancetta Cheeses Half and half Sage (For best results, read recipe fully before beginning.)

1) Prepare the ingredients: - Wash and dry the fresh produce.

- Thinly slice the pancetta.

- Heat a medium pot of salted water to the boil on high.

- Trim and discard root and stem end of squash. Slice half lengthwise then into 1/2�-thick pieces.

- Cut the broccolini into bite-sized pieces.

- Heat oven to 375 degrees.

- Grate the cheeses.

- Pick sage leaves and discard stems.

2) Cook the pasta and the broccolini: - Add the pasta to the pot of boiling salted water and cook for 10 minutes. Add the prepped broccolini and cook for 1 minute more.

3) Start the sauce: - While the pasta cooks, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large (oven-safe) pan on medium until hot.

Add sliced pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until transparent and much of the fat has rendered, about 2 minutes. Add the sliced squash and cook an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

- Add the half and half, season with salt, and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low, add 1/3 of the grated cheese and stir to melt into sauce. Add 1/3 more grated cheese and stir until melted into sauce. Season to taste with salt.

4) Combine the sauce and the pasta, and bake.

- Drain the cooked pasta and broccolini thoroughly and return to the pot. Add the pancetta and squash cheese sauce and stir until the pasta is well-coated, then transfer all back to the ovensafe pan.

- Cover tightly with foil and transfer pan to the oven. Cook for 10 minutes, or until bubbly and hot.

5) Finish the pasta: - Change oven to broiler function (alternatively, turn up oven to 500 degrees).

- Remove foil from pasta. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 grated cheese over the top of the pasta. In a small bowl, toss sage leaves with a drizzle of olive oil and scatter over top of pasta. Broil until browned and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Divide between 2 dishes. Enjoy!
