How to cook deliciously - Campanelle Pasta with Butternut Squash, Mascarpone Cheese, and Fake Bacon

1. Stage

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add campanelle and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, combine butternut squash and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until squash is fork-tender, about 10 minutes.

3. Stage

At the same time, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and saute for 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 more minute; set aside.

4. Stage

Place bacon on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high until crisp, about 1 minute. Chop when cool enough to handle.

5. Stage

Remove squash from the microwave and mash. Mix mascarpone cheese into the mashed squash. Add shallot-garlic mixture, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir in chopped bacon.
