Butternut Squash And Chicken Pasta

The butternut squash somewhat melts into a delicious sauce coating the chicken and the pasta with all its lovely goodness. I got the idea from everyday italian's giada delaurentis but left out the shrimp, eggplant and use chicken instead.

Steps

Heat the oil in a heavy large nonstick frying pan over medium heat.
Add onion and saute until tender , about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and saute for just a minute.
Add the cubed chicken and cook through.
Add squash , rosemary and saute for 8 to 10 minutes.
Add the broth and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer until the squash is tender and the liquid is reduced by about half , stirring occasionally , about 10 minutes.
Season , to taste , with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile , bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite , stirring often.
Drain pasta.
Toss the pasta and squash mixture in a large bowl until the liquid thickens slightly and coats the pasta.
Transfer the pasta mixture to a wide shallow bowl and serve.
