Ingredients

    2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
    6 slices deli prosciutto, cut into thin strips
    1 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled & cut into 1/2 " chunks
    2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
    1/2 cup white wine
    1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
    1 pound campanelle pasta
    4 cups baby spinach
    kosher salt & freshly ground pepper

Directions

Serves 6.
I used more chicken broth instead of the wine.

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil & cook the pasta according to the package instructions, until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in large skillet, over medium heat. Add the prosciutto & cook for about 10 minutes, or until brown & crisp. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate & set aside.
Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet & add the squash. Cook for 10 minutes, or until softened & beginning to brown. Add the thyme & cook for an additional minute. Stir in the wine & simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth & cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 4 minutes.
Drain the pasta & pour it back into the pot. Add in the spinach, the butternut squash mixture & the reserved prosciutto. Toss until the spinach wilts. Season with salt & pepper to taste & serve.
