Roasted Butternut Squash with Pasta

3 c. cubed butternut squash (about one decent sized one per two people)
1 T. dark brown sugar (you can use light if you don't have it)
1 T olive oil and 2 t for the pasta
1 t salt ( you can cut this a bit if you like)
1/2 t ground pepper
8 shallots peeled and halved (I had some mini red onions I found, but I think if you used regular onions in a pinch it would be fine)
1 t rubbed sage
4 oz of whatever pasta you have
1/4 c grated parm (this really sets the dish off)

1. Oven 475. In a bowl mix the squash, 2 T olive oil , brown sugar, salt, pepper and shallots until coated (save sage for later). Bake at 475 or until tender. Add sage when finished. While squash is cooking make the pasta. Add the 2 t of olive oil to pasta and serve squash on top of pasta with cheese on top.
