Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups (833 ml) all-purpose unbleached flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 1/2 Kabocha Squash
  • 1 Delicata squash
  • 1-2 pounds (454-907 g) cherry tomatoes
  • 1 bunch dino kale
  • 2 shallots
  • 5-6 cloves garlic
  • Dry or fresh thyme and oregano
  • 1-2 TBSP unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) dry white wine
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) chicken or vegetable stock

Instructions

  1. For the pasta:
  2. Add all ingredients to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat at level 2 for 30-60 seconds until combined. Add another 1/2 tsp of water if the mixture seems dry.
  3. Swap the paddle for the dough hook and mix on level 2 for 2 minutes.
  4. Remove dough, knead by hand for 1-2 minutes, cut into 4 pieces, wrap in plastic, and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
  6. Toss squash with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Roast on a baking sheet for 30-35 minutes until tender.
  7. Toss cherry tomatoes with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Roast in a dish for 35-45 minutes until juices form.
  8. In a sauté pan, sauté finely diced garlic and shallots in olive oil over medium heat until golden.
  9. Add butter and herbs, stirring until soft.
  10. Deglaze with wine, reduce, and add chicken/vegetable stock. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  11. Add chopped kale and cover. Cook on low for 2-5 minutes until wilted.
  12. Flatten pasta dough discs using a rolling pin or pasta attachment. Cut into approximately 1-inch wide pappardelle.
  13. Dry noodles on a rack.
  14. Boil in heavily salted water for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  15. Drain, rinse with cold water, toss with olive oil, and add to the sauce.
  16. Serve warm, topped with roasted squash and tomatoes.

Notes

  • For optimal pasta texture, ensure the water is vigorously boiling before adding the pappardelle. Overcooked pasta will be gummy.
  • Feel free to substitute other hearty winter squashes like butternut or acorn for the kabocha and delicata.
  • To make ahead, prepare the roasted squash and tomatoes separately and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
