This vibrant butternut squash and radicchio pappardelle is a sophisticated vegetarian main that perfectly balances sweet and bitter notes. The golden, caramelised squash provides a soft texture that contrasts beautifully with the slight crunch of toasted pine nuts and the sharpness of Italian radicchio. Using brown butter adds a rich, nutty depth to the sauce, ensuring every strand of egg pasta is coated in a savoury, fragrant glaze.
Ideal for an easy midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch, this pasta dish is both comforting and light. The addition of salty ricotta salata or Parmigiano-Reggiano cuts through the richness of the vegetables for a well-rounded flavour profile. Serve it immediately in warmed bowls for a simple, homemade meal that brings a touch of seasonal elegance to your dining table.

Ingredients for Butternut Squash and Radicchio Pappardelle
1/2 stick unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
80ml pine nuts
450g butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 600ml )
350g radicchio, cored and thinly sliced
1 (8-to 250g ) package pappardelle (preferably egg pasta), broken into large pieces
120ml coarsely grated ricotta salata or Parmigiano-Reggiano (30g)
How to make Butternut Squash and Radicchio Pappardelle
Melt butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, then continue to cook until it is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add oil, then nuts, and cook, stirring, until nuts are golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a plate.
Add squash to skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add radicchio and 1/2 teaspoons each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until wilted and just tender, about 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook pappardelle in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 5.7L water) until al dente. Reserve 240ml cooking water, then drain pasta. Add pasta to radicchio mixture with 120ml cooking water and toss over low heat until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add more cooking water to moisten if necessary.
Serve topped with nuts and cheese.
