Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Spread squash into a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper over squash, toss to coat.

  3. Roast in the preheated oven until squash is browned and softened, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and keep warm.

  4. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, cook the linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain linguine, reserving 1 cup pasta water.

  5. Melt butter in a pot over medium heat until bubbling and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Cook and stir garlic and pine nuts in the brown butter until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add linguine, arugula, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and enough pasta water to moisten to the mixture. Toss until Parmesan cheese melts.

  6. Transfer linguine mixture to serving plates and top with roasted squash and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.
