Orzo 是一種多用途的義大利麵,煮得恰到好處時,能呈現出非常奶油滑順、類似義式燉飯的口感——但不需要在爐子前站上 40 分鐘。在這道楓糖南瓜搭配奶油或羅佐麵的食譜中,我通過用青蔥細末與奶油一起炒香,並加入蒜頭、新鮮百里香與迷迭香,讓這款像米粒般的麵條獲得額外的香氣 infusion。南瓜在此道菜中同樣是主角,在烤之前先吸收輕盈的楓糖甜味,烤焙時表面會呈現恰到好處的焦糖化。南瓜與或羅佐麵一起組合,成為一個有些出乎意料卻美味的配菜,特別適合節日餐桌或只是平日的晚餐桌。
為了真正凸顯奶油般的或羅佐麵的豐富風味,我加入白味增醬,讓鹹香與鮮味恰到好處。以迷迭香與蒜香煎香的核桃作為裝飾,為秋季增添一抹香氣,而羽衣甘藍則增添絢麗的綠意與清新感。我喜歡這道菜在不過於繁複的情形下顯得高雅,而由於南瓜全年皆可取得,我發現自己四季都會做這道食譜(雖然在秋季尤為美味)。

要完成這道食譜,先前往蔬果區挑選一顆南瓜。你可以買整顆自行去皮切丁,或是買成已切好的現成分塊(若買成現成的,可能需要把塊狀切成同樣大小以便均勻熟成)。在蔬果區,同時取蒜頭、細蔥、新鮮迷迭香、新鮮百里香、檸檬,以及要麼羽衣甘藍,要麼捲葉甘藍。
在奶製品方面,你需要鹽味黃油、濃稠奶油與帕瑪森起司。其他必要材料還包括白味噌、蔬菜高湯、對半切的核桃仁,以及 orzo。再從家裡的儲藏室檢查橄欖油、楓糖漿、猶太鹽與黑胡椒。

Maple Butternut Squash With Creamy Orzo Recipe
Our maple butternut squash with creamy orzo recipe is infused with fall-forward aromatics and topped with toasted pecans for the ultimate holiday side dish.
Total time: 1 hour, 7 minutes
- For the roasted squash
- 1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into ½-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- For the toasted pecans
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 cup pecans
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- For the creamy orzo
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 ½ cups uncooked orzo
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 2 cups stemmed and chopped kale
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the squash cubes with the olive oil, maple syrup, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.
- Spread the squash out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until fork-tender and caramelized at the edges.
- While the squash roasts, melt the butter for the pecans in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add the pecans, garlic, and rosemary and cook, stirring often, until the pecans smell toasty and darken slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the pecans to a cutting board and roughly chop. Set aside.
- Make the creamy orzo: In a large (5-quart) pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the shallot and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, thyme, rosemary, and orzo. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until some of the orzo turns golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour in the broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until the orzo is al dente and most of the broth is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk the miso into the cream until smooth.
- Stir the roasted squash, kale, miso cream, and parmesan into the orzo and cook until the kale wilts and the sauce turns creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and the remaining salt and pepper.
- Top the squash and orzo with the toasted pecans before serving.

Can I make the squash and creamy orzo ahead of time?
你可以先把這道菜的某些組件預先準備,以在當天上桌時節省時間。首先,提前烤好南瓜是一個很好的做法,烤完後讓它完全冷卻,放入密封容器冷藏,可保存兩天;之後再加入或羅佐麵時再加熱即可。你也可以提前準備烤香的核桃仁,但烤好後請保持室溫,因為放到冰箱會讓它變得太軟。一旦這兩個部分先行準備好,整道菜在奶油或羅佐麵成為唯一待完成步驟時就能快速完成。我不建議提前把或羅佐麵煮好,因為它會黏在一起,失去奶油般的絲滑感。
若有剩餘,請把它們存放於密閉容器中於冰箱冷藏,最多可保存四天。核桃仁會略微變軟,因此若可能,另存於室溫;雖然冷藏後口感仍然美味。重新加熱時,你會發現或羅佐麵已吸收較多的液體,可能有點乾,因此可加一小撮水、湯或奶油以讓其再次變得奶油滑順。最適合的重新加熱方法是用爐火,請用小火,以避免燒焦或羅佐麵。
What ingredient swaps could I make in this squash and orzo recipe?
這道食譜有很多材料可以替換,先從主要原料南瓜說起。這道菜用地瓜或其他類型的南瓜都相當合適。Acorn(橡果南瓜)與 honeynut 南瓜都是可行的替代選項。Kabocha 南瓜也是很棒的選擇,額外好處是你甚至不需要去皮就能使用。
在為南瓜烤焗前增甜方面,如果沒有楓糖漿,龍舌蘭糖漿或蜂蜜也能完成任務。你也可以把核桃仁換成其他堅果,如核桃、榛子,甚至用南瓜籽來取得不含堅果的脆感。想要奶油感的口感,或佐麵條的奶油感並非一定要使用濃奶油,可以改用半奶半奶油、椰奶或腰果奶油。各類綠葉蔬菜也都很適合搭配或羅佐麵,菠菜是羽衣甘藍的明顯替代,但請使用嬰兒菠菜並去除較長的莖。由於菠菜的體積會縮水,建議把配方中羽衣甘藍的用量加倍。瑞士甜菜亦可使用,只要在加入混合物前先把莖部去除。若手邊沒有白味噌醬,可以用兩茶匙醬油取代,達到同樣的鹹香風味效果。
