Instructions

Wash produce before use

Cook the orecchiette

Heat the oven to 450°F.
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the orecchiette and cook until just tender, 9 to 11 minutes. Drain the orecchiette, transfer to a large bowl, and drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil.
While the water heats and the orecchiette cooks, prepare the vegetables.

Prep and roast the vegetables

Trim the ends from the squash; cut the squash in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Strip the thyme leaves from the stems.

On a sheet pan, toss the squash, tomatoes, and thyme with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast until the squash are lightly browned and just tender and the tomatoes are starting to burst, 15 to 18 minutes. While the vegetables roast, prepare the remaining ingredients and finish the pasta.

Prep the remaining ingredients

Rinse the shrimp, then drain on a paper-towel-lined plate and pat dry.
Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1½ teaspoons.
Rinse the white beans.
Trim the root ends and any coarse stems from the watercress.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon off all but 2 to 3 teaspoons fat from the pan. Add the shrimp, garlic, and as much Aleppo chile as you like and cook until the shrimp are firm and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Remove from the heat. Stir in the beans, roasted squash and tomatoes, and sherry vinegar, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to the bowl with the orecchiette, fold in the watercress, and toss to combine.
