Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roast the butternut squash by placing it cut-side down on the baking sheet, drizzling with olive oil, and roasting until tender (about 25-30 minutes).
Cook the fettuccine in salted boiling water until al dente; reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add sage leaves.
Blend roasted squash with sautéed garlic mixture and vegetable broth until creamy.
Return sauce to skillet over low heat, adding cooked pasta gradually while stirring in goat cheese. Use reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
Serve topped with grated Parmesan and fresh sage leaves.
