Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
4 ounces smoked ham, thinly sliced
-
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
-
1 ½ cups chicken broth
-
3 cups peeled, seeded, and diced butternut squash
-
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
-
salt, or to taste
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
-
1 cup mascarpone cheese
-
1 tablespoon chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
-
14 ounces spaghetti
-
finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Directions
-
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Stir in ham and cook until the edges are slightly browned, about 3 minutes.
-
Stir in garlic; cook until fragrant and edges are barely golden, about 1 minute.
-
Pour chicken broth over ham and garlic; bring to a simmer. Stir in butternut squash, red pepper flakes, and salt. Cook until squash is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in black pepper and reduce heat to low.
-
Gently stir mascarpone cheese into squash mixture until completely incorporated. Stir in Italian parsley. Remove from heat and cover.
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

Pour butternut-mascarpone sauce over spaghetti, stirring until combined. Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over spaghetti and serve.
