Cooking Steps
- Add squash and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the top of the oven, until golden-brown and tender, 22-24 min.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice half the sage. Remove remaining sage leaves from the stems.
- Peel, then mince shallot.
- Peel, then mince garlic.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then sage leaves. Fry until crisp, 1 min. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add chicken to the same pan with residual sage oil. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 3-4 min.** Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- When linguine is done, drain then return linguine to the same pot, off heat.
- Reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium-high.
- When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 2-3 min.
- Add sliced sage, Dijon and cream. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add cream sauce, half the Parmesan to the pot with linguine. Toss to combine.
- Divide linguine between plates.
- Top with roasted squash and chicken.
- Sprinkle fried sage and remaining Parmesan over top.
- Sprinkle chilli flakes over top, if desired.
If you've opted to get chicken breasts, prep and cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook pork.**
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: Reviewers consistently praised the combination of roasted butternut squash, fried sage, and creamy garlic sauce as a standout flavour pairing. Some found the overall dish a touch bland, with a few noting the Dijon mustard can overpower the sauce.
- Ease of prep: Most found this straightforward to prepare, though some noted the actual cook time ran longer than expected.
- Suggestions: Use half the Dijon mustard if you prefer a subtler flavour, and add the chilli flakes directly into the sauce while cooking for a more even warmth. Consider adding a sharper cheese or a splash of lemon juice if the sauce tastes flat.
- Leftovers: This dish makes generous portions and keeps well, with several reviewers noting it was just as enjoyable the next day.
- Squash tips: Cut squash into larger pieces and watch the roasting time closely, as smaller or pre-cut cubes can burn or turn mushy before the rest of the dish is ready.
- Sauce: A few reviewers found the cream sauce slow to thicken; letting it reduce a little longer over medium heat helps achieve a better consistency.
