Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried sage)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • ½ cup plant-based cream or coconut milk
  • 8 ounces fettuccine or penne

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread diced butternut squash on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for about 25-30 minutes until tender.
  2. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion in olive oil until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and sage; cook for another minute.
  4. Add roasted butternut squash, vegetable broth, and plant-based cream to the skillet. Blend until smooth (or mash for a chunkier texture). Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Combine cooked pasta with the sauce. If too thick, add reserved pasta water gradually until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Serve hot with optional grated Parmesan cheese alternative.
