1
Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the linguine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and keep it aside.
2
While the pasta is cooking, season your chicken breasts with the fresh rosemary, olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Sear the chicken breasts in a pan over medium heat until they're fully cooked, then slice them and set aside.
3
Using the same pan, cook the diced pancetta until it's crispy. Remove the pancetta but keep the pan with its drippings.
4
In the same pan, add the cubed butternut squash to the pancetta drippings and cook on medium heat until the squash softens.
5
With a potato masher or a fork, smash the cooked squash until it forms a chunky puree.
6
Stir in the heavy cream and freshly grated parmesan cheese to the squash puree and season with salt and pepper, stirring until it forms a thick sauce.
7
Add the cooked linguine to the sauce, toss to coat evenly.
8
Top the pasta with the sliced herbed chicken and crispy pancetta, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
9
Serve this delightful dish hot and enjoy.
