Butternut Squash Pasta

Posted by angeladawn1220 on

I love a good comforting bowl of Pasta. This is the perfect time of year for this butternut squash pasta. Light a candle, open a bottle of Pinot Noir and let’s get cookin’! This recipe is so easy to make. With minimal ingredients and just a few steps, you’ll be indulging in this creamy goodness in no time. I take the base of the sauce which is butternut squash, shallots and garlic. I roast them in the oven with some warm spices and blend it all together with some stock, cream and parm cheese. It makes the creamiest sauce that you finish in a skillet. Add your favorite pasta and toss together. I then brown some butter and crisp up some sage to top the pasta with. It’s autumn in a bowl! Pair with a nice green salad and enjoy!
