Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add your pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente, stirring occasionally. Once cooked, drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to cool and remove excess starch.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, toss the diced butternut squash and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread the vegetables out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts. Add the cranberries, pecans, and feta cheese. Gently toss all the ingredients together.
- Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the assembled salad and toss lightly to coat everything evenly. Adjust the seasoning with added salt and pepper if needed.
- The salad can be enjoyed immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
