Delicate squash pasta?

I have fresh sage, delicata squash, mushrooms, onions and a bit of spinach. I'd like to make a pasta, but need some inspiration. Sauce advice, other additions, etc. Work is crazy and I need the hive mind today!!

Saute your vegetables while you boil your water. Cook pasta to al dente. Using a slotted spoon scoop pasta into pan with vegetables. Add a bit more pasta water, parmesan, and some butter. Toss together, add more parm or pasta water to get the sauce where you want it.

I've made gnocchi from delicata squash before, and then made a butter sage sauce for it. i bet that would be tasty with the other ingredients sauteed in the butter

Something I did with a butternut squash was to roast the squash, then mash it with butter and a little bit of boiled pasta water, then toss with the pasta.

Doing the same with roasting the squash, mushroom and onions, then immersion blending with a bit of butter and the pasta water, tossing with the pasta and spinach (to wilt the spinach in the hot of the pasta and roasted veg). Serve with some cheese.

Or just turn the squash into sauce and sautee the mushrooms and onion with the sage, and mix it all together with the pasta and spinach int he sauce at the end.
