ingredients

Pasta
  • 1 lb fettuccine
  • 1 25- oz jar Sprouts Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce
  • 2 oz goat cheese
  • 1 Tbsp freshly chopped sage leaves
  • 3/4 cup cooked crispy bacon chopped about 5 slices
  • 1/2 cup grated fontina cheese
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
Fried Sage
  • 8 to 10 fresh sage leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Spray a 2 to 2 1/2 QT baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a bowl. Salt the water well and cook pasta according to the directions on the packaging, subtracting 1 to 2 minutes off the total cooking time. I cooked my pasta for 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, combined butternut squash pasta sauce and goat cheese over medium-high heat. Stirring occasionally, cook until cheese has melted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in sage and 1/2 cup chopped bacon. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Add cooked pasta to the baking dish, then pour the sauce on top. Toss well to coat the noodles.
  • In a small bowl, stir together fontina cheese, breadcrumbs, and remaining bacon. Sprinkle over the top of the pasta evenly.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
  • While the pasta is baking, fry the sage leaves. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Fry sage leaves in batches of about 5 leaves, for 30 seconds total. Remove to paper towels to drain.
  • Remove pasta bake from the oven and top with sage leaves.
  • Serve.
