Instructions
Heat oven to 425 (220 C) degrees. Trim the stem and root end off the squash and slice it in half lengthwise. Scrape a spoon along down the length of the pieces to remove the seeds and strings. Slice each half in half again, then cut into ½-inch wide chunks. Put the squash in a large mixing bowl with the olive oil, shallot, garlic, salt and red pepper. Toss to coat, then transfer to a rimmed baking sheet (or mix it up directly on the baking sheet). Bake 20-25 minutes, until the squash should is tender and nicely brown. Drizzle the balsamic over the squash as soon as it comes out of the oven and stir around gently with a spatula. While the squash is roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni until al dente. Before draining the pasta, add the greens to the colander. The brief contact with the boiling pasta water will wilt the greens. If you're using a tender green like arugula, just toss it in after draining the pasta. Transfer the pasta and greens back to the pasta cooking pot and stir in the cream and Parmesan. Add the squash to the pasta and toss together. Serve hot with additional cheese and chili to your taste.View original recipe
