Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add squash, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) chili flakes. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. (Like things spicy? Add more chili flakes!)
- Roast squash in the top of the oven for 18-19 min, until golden and tender.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
- Meanwhile, pick sage leaves from stems. Thinly slice half the sage leaves, leaving the remainder as full leaves.
- Peel, then mince shallot.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then full sage leaves. Fry for 1-2 min, until crisp.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer fried sage leaves to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Add beef to the pan with residual sage-infused oil. Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until cooked through.** Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer beef to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, to the boiling water, add linguine. Cook for 10-13 min, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Strain linguine, then return to the pot, off heat.
- Heat the same pan (from step 3) over medium.
- When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then shallots and garlic. Cook for 1-3 min, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
- Add sliced sage, half the Dijon (all for 4 servings) and cream. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- To the pot with strained linguine, add cream sauce, beef, spinach and half the Parmesan. Toss to combine for 1 min, until spinach wilts.
- Divide linguine between plates. Top with squash.
- Sprinkle fried sage leaves and remaining Parmesan over top.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many loved the unique combination of flavors, especially the sage and squash, though some found it a bit bland.
- Ease of prep: While most found it easy to make, some noted it took longer than expected or required multiple pots and pans.
- Suggestions: Consider reducing cream for a lighter sauce; add lemon juice or white wine for acidity; increase sage for more flavor.
- Leftovers: Generous portions provided lunch for the next day, though some found it oily when reheated.
- Texture: The creamy sauce paired well with the tender squash, creating a satisfying mix of textures.
