Butternut Squash Pasta with Gorgonzola Cheese

Ingredients

• The meat from one half a butternut squash, cubed
• 8 oz. Orzo pasta
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
• 1/2 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (Feta, Bleu, Goat, or other soft, crumbled cheese work fine too)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Season squash with garlic salt.
2. Cook the squash in oil in a pan on the stove until soft, about 15 minutes.
3. Add onions to the pan, stir and cook a few more minutes until translucent. In a separate pan, brown orzo in butter until lightly browned.
4. Add broth and water to Orzo in 1/4 cup increments, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid is absorbed and pasta achieves desired tenderness.
5. Add squash and onions, and Parmesan cheese to Orzo, and stir to combine. Continue to cook, stirring often, until sqaush is soft.
6. Remove from heat, stir in Gorgonzola cheese, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
