Ingredients

• 4 tbsp. butter
• 3/4 lb. ground chicken
• 1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 1/2 lb. butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1/4 lb. celery root, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

• 6 oz. campanelle or other dried pasta
• 1/4 cup crème fraiche
• 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest

Directions

1. In a large pot with a lid, melt 2 tbsp. butter over medium-high. Add the chicken and rosemary; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring and breaking up the chicken with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

2. In the pot, melt the remaining 2 tbsp. butter over medium. Add the squash, celery root, leek, celery seed and half the thyme; season. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes, until the vegetables are coated with butter.

3. Stir in the stock; cover and bring to a boil. Stir in the pasta and chicken and cook, uncovered, over medium, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes. Divide among 4 bowls. Top with the crème fraiche, lemon zest and remaining thyme.
