Tortillini with Butternut Squash and Prosciutto

Ok.. I havent made this one yet.. but it is on the menu.. and why not.. it looks extremely easy to make.. not to mention extremely good for you!

Tortellini with Butternut Squash and Prosciutto
2 C. cubed butternut squash, 1 pkg. whole wheat cheese tortillini,
1 TBS olive oil, 4 thin slices prosciutto ( I imagine bacon would work),
2 TBS butter fresh ground pepper

That is it!! Nothing else!!

Bring large pot water to boil. Add squash, cook about 15 minutes until tender. Using a slotted spoon remove squash from water, and place in lg. bowl. Return water to boil, add tortillini. Cook about 5 minutes until floating. Drain and add to squash. Pour oil in pot, return to meduim high, saute prosciutto until lightly crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Add butter to pot, reduce heat to medium. Cook butter until brown 1 to 2 minutes, but not burnt. Add squash, tortillini. Crumble in prosciutto, season with pepper. Serve with tossed salad, and whole wheat rolls, or garlic bread.
